Network‐targeted approach and postoperative resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging are associated with seizure outcome

Abstract

Among seizure localization techniques in pediatric epilepsy, network-targeted surgery, followed by postoperative rs-fMRI normalization, has high correlation with seizure freedom. This study shows that rs-fMRI SOZ can be used as a biomarker of the epileptogenic zone, and postoperative rs-fMRI normalization is a biomarker for SOZ quiescence. ANN NEUROL 2019;86:344-356.
