Clinical, <scp>EEG</scp>,<scp> MRI,</scp> MEG, and surgical outcomes of pediatric epilepsy with astrocytic inclusions versus focal cortical dysplasia

Abstract

Although there were some similarities between AIs and FCD, patients with AIs were more likely to present with early onset periodic spasms, have unusual interictal epileptiform discharges, abnormal sulcation, gyration pattern, and gray matter heterotopia, and were less likely to be seizure free following surgical resection relative to FCD. Further study with a larger sample size is needed to validate our findings.
