@entity4934 occurs in @entity1 with @entity976 , both before and after treatment, and its impact on outcome may not be fully appreciated. Also unclear is whether neurobehavioral outcome relates more to @entity5 location or surgical factors. We reviewed the records of 20 @entity1 with @entity976 who were seen between 1983 and 1995. All @entity1 had subfrontal craniotomy and either partial (14 @entity1 ) or gross total (6 @entity1 ) resection of their @entity5 . In addition to traditional neuropsychological testing, we assessed social behavior and school performance using standardized ratings based on family interviews and school records. Over a mean follow-up period of 38 months, only 3 of 20 @entity1 had a good outcome in all three categories, and 12 of 20 had moderate or severe impairment in at least one category. Outcome did not differ between those who had partial and those with gross total resection. We conclude that @entity4934 are common and cause important morbidity in @entity1 after treatment for @entity976 . To evaluate these impairments in future outcome studies, standard neuropsychological testing should be supplemented by specific behavioral assessments to capture the full range of @entity4934 . In this series, partial versus gross total resection did not influence outcome, implying that @entity5 location in diencephalic and limbic regions is a more important factor.
