Unexpected Aphasia following Right Temporal Lobectomy as Treatment of Recurrent Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus

摘要

BackgroundSuper-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a critical neurological condition with a high mortality rate. There are only limited data to direct the treatment in SRSE, and surgery has been reported to successfully stop SRSE. We present a case of recurrent SRSE treated with urgent right temporal lobectomy in a right-handed woman which potentially saved her life but resulted in crossed sensory aphasia.
