Intraoperative MR imaging and neuronavigation during resection of FCD Type II in adult epilepsy surgery offers better seizure outcome

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one important cause of drug-resistant epilepsy potentially curable by epilepsy surgery. We investigated the options utilizing neuronavigation and intraoperative MR imaging to avoid residual epileptogenic tissue during resection of FCD II patients in order to improve seizure outcome.
