  • aEZ location indicates the supposed brain location of the EZ. Thermo-coagulation indicates the practice used in surgical intervention of drug-resistant focal epilepsy where current is injected in a bipolar derivation in order to increase the pericontact temperature. —, no single focal location was identified. Age indicates the age of the patients at the recording date. Drugs are reported with their active principal names. Drug dosage is expressed in milligrams and refers to the morning dosage measured at the day of the recording. Outcome is expressed as Engel scores. Numbers in parentheses indicate the point time after surgery when the visit occurred.
