MRI-negative prefrontal epilepsy due to cortical dysplasia explored by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)

Epileptic Disord. 2008 Dec;10(4):330-8. doi: 10.1684/epd.2008.0218.

Abstract

We report the case of a young boy presenting with pre-frontal seizures including singing automatisms. There was no visible lesion on MRI, but following localisation using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), surgery revealed an underlying dysplastic lesion.
