Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will give important information about long term consequences of temporal lobe epilepsy surgery on cognition (memory, language, concentration etc), psychiatric function and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All patients in Norway who have undergone temporal lobe epilepsy surgery ten years ago or more, will be invited to participate. Two groups will be compared: patients who are younger than 50 years of age vs patients who are older than 50 years of age.

The aim of the study is to improve preoperative information to future epilepsy surgery patients, to aid medical personnel (doctors, psychologists) in the selection of patients for surgery, and to improve knowledge of need for long term follow-up and rehabilitation.
