This study was undertaken to identify clinical factors associated with seizure freedom after magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLiTT) in temporal lobe epilepsy patients with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). Methods: We identified 56 patients with magnetic resonance imaging-defined MTS who underwent MRgLiTT with at least 1 year of follow-up. Primary outcome was seizure freedom at 1 year. We examined the association of seizure freedom and the following clinical factors: age at surgery, gender, history of febrile seizures, history of focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, duration of epilepsy at the time of surgery, frequency of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), seizure frequency, and presence of bilateral IEDs.
