Long-term seizure outcome in pediatric patients with focal cortical dysplasia undergoing tailored and standard surgical resections
2018, SeizureCitation Excerpt :Particularly, giant and dysmorphic neurons are considered responsible for seizure generation in FCD Type II [6–9]. In 2011, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classified FCDs in a three-tiered system that additionally distinguished whether pathological findings of FCD are isolated or associated with other epileptogenic lesions [10]. Due to the therapeutic challenge that these patients represent, epilepsy surgery has been increasingly used in recent years, with several reports showing the benefits of the surgical treatment in patients with FCD [3,11–14].

2018, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Most were 1 year of age (26/33) at seizure onset. Focal cortical dysplasia (International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Type I–III; [85–87]) were most common in these patients. In autism spectrum disorder, there is also a high risk of malformations of cortical development, such as polymicrogyria and tuberous sclerosis complex.
