Effects of laser interstitial thermal therapy for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy on the structural connectome and its relationship to seizure freedom

Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive surgery for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), but the effects of individual patient anatomy and location of ablation volumes affect seizure outcomes. The purpose of this study is to see if features of individual patient structural connectomes predict surgical outcomes after LITT for mTLE.This is a retrospective analysis of seizure outcomes of LITT for mTLE in 24 patients.
