Operative posterior disconnection in epilepsy surgery: Experience with 29 patients

It has been suggested that multilobar epilepsies caused by lesions restricted to the posterior cerebral quadrant (ie, the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes) can be treated successfully by a procedure termed posterior disconnection. The objective of the present paper was to identify determinants of the epileptological outcome following posterior disconnection surgery.
