Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of epilepsy and drug-resistant epilepsy in children diagnosed with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) through MRI and to identify clinical differences among various epilepsy responses.
- 97 pediatric patients were analyzed from a hospital database, focusing on those under 18 with MRI-confirmed FCD from 2004 to 2013, using a retrospective approach that included chart reviews.
- Findings revealed that 71.13% had epilepsy while 32.99% had drug-resistant epilepsy, highlighting correlations between epilepsy presence, seizure onset age, family seizure history, and the type of brain lesions involved.
