Clinicopathological associations in temporal lobe epilepsy patients utilising the current ILAE focal cortical dysplasia classification.

Objectives: This study utilised the revised 2011 ILAE classification of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) (Blümcke et al., 2011) to examine pathology in a cohort of children and adults who underwent temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery, and to describe the electroclinical and imaging features associated with these pathologies.

Methods: The sample population were children (n=26) and adults (n=47) who underwent TLE surgery between 2002 and 2011 at our institutions.
