Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do remote preoperative tonic-clonic seizures influence outcome after surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy?
Answer: The more remote the occurrence of preoperative tonic-clonic seizures, the better the postsurgical seizure outcome, with at least a two year gap being more favorable. A recent history of tonic-clonic seizures in a patient with MTLE may reflect more widespread epileptogenicity extending beyond the borders of mesial temporal structures.
Output (English): no
