We reported a 25-year-old man with intractable right temporal lobe epilepsy in whom subdural recording successfully delineated the epileptogenic area in the right anterior mesial to basal temporal region in spite of the presence of a postoperative lesion in the right posterior temporal region. The patient underwent right posterior temporal resection due to ependymoma at the age of 8 years. Since age 19, he had suffered from medically intractable psychomotor seizures. Ictal scalp-recorded EEG suggested an epileptogenic area at the right temporal area, but it could not specifically demarcate the site because of bone deficits from the previous surgery. Ictal SPECT showed a hyperactive area in the right anterior temporal area, which was inconsistent with the MRI finding. In case of partial epilepsy associated with structural lesion like in the present case, if results of various non-invasive studies are discrepant as to the epileptogenic area, invasive studies using, for example, subdural EEG monitoring is necessary to determine the responsible area.
