Why is it important?
Temporal lobe epilepsy patients treated with Hip-DBS have rarely been reported before. Preoperative and postoperative cognitive function is seldom analyzed.
Perspectives
Hip-DBS could provide acceptable long-term efficacy and safety. For patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who are not suitable for resective surgery, Hip-DBS could become a potential therapeutic option.
