The Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a neurosurgical approach having now demonstrated well its efficiency, its low morbidity and its comfort in the treatment of numerous neurosurgical disorders. These advantages of this type of intervention make it a method of great interest in functional neurosurgery and quite particularly in surgery of epilepsy. French experience is a pionner one in this domain. If for several years the positive evolution of the epilepsy associated to brain lesions had been noticed after the Gamma Knife radiosurgical treatment, the use of this approach in surgery of the epilepsy is systematically estimated since 1993. Data are today available concerning the surgical treatment of the epilepsies originating in temporomesiale area without occupying process, epilepsies associated to hypothalamic hamartomas and epilepsies associated to cavernous angiomas or to low grade gliomas. The quality of the epileptological result obtained in these various indications associated to a very reduced morbidity lets suppose that the Gamma Knife radiosurgery could indeed have tomorrow a place within the sample group of surgical approaches dedicated to the treatment of severe epilepsies. However, a larger number of treated patients and a more prolonged follow-up remains necessary to estimate in a more definitive way this approach.
