Resection of individually identified high‐rate high‐frequency oscillations region is associated with favorable outcome in neocortical epilepsy

Abstract

Intrapatient analysis of high-rate HFOs provides more detailed description of HFO-generating areas and can mark the areas of clinically significant epileptogenicity--a crucial component of the neocortical epileptic network that should be removed to achieve a good outcome. Validating and adopting an unbiased quantitative HFO parameter has the potential to propel wider and prospective utilization of HFOs in the surgical treatment of neocortical epilepsy and to improve its outcome.
