Localized focal cortical dysplasia type II: seizure freedom with lesionectomy guided by MRI and FDG-PET

The authors perform thorough, noninvasive presurgical evaluations for intractable epilepsy at their center and avoid unnecessary intracranial EEG when possible. The purpose of this study was to clarify the appropriateness of their lesion-oriented surgical strategy for localized focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II.
