Epileptogenicity of Cortical Dysplasias and Tumors

Abstract

The epileptogenic characteristic of focal cortical dysplasias and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors explored by depth electrodes and stereoelectroencephalography is quantified using an epileptogenicity index, in a study of 36 patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy at Universite de la Mediterranee and other centers in Marseille and Rennes, France.
