Since its introduction to neurosurgery in 2008, laser ablative techniques have
been largely confined to the management of unresectable tumors. Application of
this technology for the management of focal epilepsy in the adult population has
not been fully explored. Given that nearly 1,000,000 Americans live with
medically refractory epilepsy and current surgical techniques only address a
fraction of epileptic pathologies, additional therapeutic options are needed. We
report the successful treatment of dominant insular epilepsy in a 53-year-old
male with minimally invasive laser ablation complicated by mild verbal and memory
deficits. We also report neuropsychological test data on this patient before
surgery and at 8 months after the ablation procedure. This account represents the
first reported successful patient outcome of laser ablation as an effective
treatment option for medically refractory post-stroke epilepsy in an adult.
