Summary Purpose:  We analyzed clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) outcomes of 13 patients with pharmacoresistant encephalopathy with electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) following epilepsy surgery. Methods:  All patients had symptomatic etiology of ESES and preoperative neuropsych...
