The efficacy of bilateral stereotactic amygdalotomy for the treatment of aggressive behavioral disorders has been evaluated in a retrospective study of 67 cases. In addition 4 cases with complex partial seizures accompanied by aggressive outbursts revealing a unilateral epileptogenic focus in the amygdala or periamygdala region during preoperative stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) evaluation received a unilateral stereotactic amygdalotomy. Long-term follow-up of these 4 cases shows that 3 patients had considerable improvement in seizure frequency and severity as well as behavioral disturbances. The results in the remaining patients evaluated by surface EEG were inconclusive.
