Abstract
Orbitofrontal epilepsy should be suspected with sleep-related, hyperkinetic seizures with no specific aura, and frontotemporal interictal discharges. Several patients have nonmotor seizures with or without auras which may resemble temporal lobe seizures. Postoperative seizure outcome was favorable, but there is inherent bias as we only included patients with a seizure-free outcome if the MRI was negative. A larger study is required to address identified gaps in knowledge such as identifying discriminative features between medial and lateral OFE, evaluating the value of more recent diagnostic tools, and assessing the neuropsychological outcome of orbital epilepsy surgery.
