Abstract
Surgical treatment of bilateral temporal lobe pharmacoresistant epilepsy is associated with some difficulties: particularly, the lack of stereotypical clinical picture in the same patient and controversial data on modern methods of diagnostics — all these statements make identifying epileptogenic zone more difficult and lack of clear criteria for the selection of patients for surgical treatment. In this review, issues of aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and criteria for the selection for surgical treatment suggested by different authors are presented.
