Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy surgery is the most common type of epilepsy surgery. This study evaluates the relationship between preoperative auras and surgical prognosis.
Materials and Methods: The follow-up data of 100 patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy surgery after 2 years was reviewed.
