Abstract

Two cases of Jackson's epilepsy; in both cases the seizures were preceded by a sensitive aura in the right arm. The operation in both cases was performed in two stages. At the 1st moment, a craniotomy was performed, at the 2nd moment, two weeks later, the affected areas of the medulla were removed. At the second moment of the operation, general anesthesia was applied only at the very beginning, when the meninges were cut, while the brain substance was stimulated by a faradic current, the patients were fully conscious.
