Characterizing magnetic spike sources by using magnetoencephalography-guided neuronavigation in epilepsy surgery in pediatric patients

Abstract

Magnetoencephalography spike source clusters indicate an epileptic zone requiring complete excision. Coexisting scatters remote from clusters are nonepileptogenic and do not require excision. Scatters alone, however, should be examined by ECoG; an epileptic zone may exist within these distributions.
