show evolution of signal changes with degeneration and regeneration following nerve injury. 6,7 Magnetic resonance tractography, by visualizing growing nerve fibers, may allow distinction between axonotmetic and neurotmetic injuries earlier, thereby expediting necessary surgeries while reducing the need for exploratory nerve surgery.

The results support the view that in selected older patients, epilepsy surgery shows equal or even higher success rates as compared to younger patients. However, patients of older age may be at greater risk for postoperative hygroma and memory deficits, especially after dominant temporal lobe resections.
