Localizing value of ictal <scp>SPECT</scp> is comparable to <scp>MRI</scp> and <scp>EEG</scp> in children with focal cortical dysplasia

Abstract

Ictal SPECT helps to define the epileptogenic zone in a high proportion of children with FCD undergoing surgical evaluation. Complete removal of both SPECT and MRI/EEG-defined regions is a strong predictor of surgical success and has important implications for surgical planning.
