Objective To analyze the electro-clinical characteristics and surgical outcome of low-grade developmental tumors in temporal lobe. Methods The onset age, seizure duration, seizure types, electroencephalogram and surgical outcome of 49 patients with low-grade developmental tumor of temporal lobe were analyzed retrospectively. Results Two groups of the seizure types were divided. The first group was spasm, the other was focal onset. There were 12 cases in spasm group, with an average onset age of (1.00±0.59) years. The discharge was extensive and multi-brain-area locaded, especially in the temporal montages and the ipsilateral posterior montages. There were 37 cases in second group, with an average onset age of (8.90±8.84) years, mainly including autonomic seizure, tonic seizure and automotor seizure. In this group, the discharge was mainly recorded in the temporal montages, which could spread to the frontal montages and less locaded in posterior montages. The difference of onset age between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). The average follow-up of spasm group was (2.80±1.57) years, and the surgical outcome of all patients in this group were all Engel I (100.00%, 12/12). The focal onset group was followed up for an average of (6.50±4.78) years, and the rate of Engel I was 91.80% (34/37). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions For low-grade developmental tumors in temporal lobe, there are two seizure types, including spasm and focal onset. The onset age of spasm is earlier, while patients with focal onset mostly start at childhood or older, rare in infancy. Surgery has a good effect on the treatment of temporal lobe developmental tumor epilepsy.
