Background: Pharmacoresistant epilepsy represents 30-40% of cases with intractable epilepsy in children, and up to 20% of adult cases. Various cerebral lesions can lead to drug-resistant focal epilepsy. They are medically refractory but the complete surgical resection correlates with good outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
