SUAREZ-ESCUDERO, Juan Camilo. Evaluation, monitoring and rehabilitation of motor function controlled in patients with drug resistant epilepsy surgery. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.2, pp.85-93. ISSN 0120-8748.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects about 45 million people and accounts for 1% of the global burden of disease. 20% to 40% of all cases are drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), which management option is usually surgical. The occurrence of neurological deficit secondary to surgery DRE is less than 6%. Motor deficits may occur in the postoperative as vascular events, although preserving motor cortex or secondary to resection of epileptogenic area, when area is located on M1-S1 or in motor association cortex. This paper present two patients with surgery for DRE, its assessment, monitoring and rehabilitation of motor function by neurorehabilitation.
