Patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy who lack structural abnormalities on MRI constitute a challenge in presurgical work-up. A longitudinal single-centre study of long-term seizure outcomes in patients with nonlesional epilepsy showed that 59% of the cohort was free from disabling seizures 10 years after resective epilepsy surgery. These results are encouraging and valuable for patient counselling.
