The surgical treatment modality for intractable epilepsy with cavernous angioma in the dominant hemisphere is still unclear. Three patients with medically intractable seizures associated with cavernous angioma in the dominant hemispheric temporal lobe underwent tailored resection based on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), electroencephalography monitoring (from scalp and sphenoidal electrodes), and neuropsychologic assessment. Epileptogenic zones were located in the area surrounding the angioma in all patients and mesial temporal dysfunction in two patients. The adjacent cortex and gliotic tissues containing hemosiderin were resected, in conjunction with either total or partial resection of the nidus. Intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) was then performed. Additional resection of the mesial temporal structures or multiple subpial transection was performed as indicated by the ECoG findings. All three patients have been seizure free and showed no language or cognitive deterioration for 30, 18, and 14 postoperative months, respectively, while receiving tapered antiepileptic medication. Tailored resection based on electrophysiological data, MR imaging, SPECT, and intraoperative ECoG is effective for the treatment of medically intractable seizure associated with cavernous angioma in the temporal lobe of the dominant hemisphere.
