Background: There have been difficulties in achieving a uniform terminology in the literature
regarding issues of classification with respect to focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) associated …

Our inability to adequately treat many patients with refractory epilepsy caused by focal
cortical dysplasia (FCD), surgical inaccessibility and failures are significant clinical …

Since the original description by Taylor, the term focal cortical dysplasia has been used to
refer to a wide range of alterations of the cortical mantle. More recently, these conditions …

Cortical dysplastic lesions (CDyLs) are often associated with severe partial epilepsies. We
describe the electrographic counterpart of this high degree of epileptogenicity, manifested …

Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most frequent pathological finding in pediatric
epilepsy surgery patients. Several histopathological types of FCD are distinguished. The aim …

Purpose: Despite advances in “noninvasive” localization techniques, many patients with
medically intractable epilepsy require the placement of subdural (subdural grid electrode …

The purpose of this study was to assess whether the histological subtype of focal cortical
dysplasia and dual pathology affect surgical outcome in patients with medically intractable …
