Ultrasound assisted awake epilepsy surgery for type IIB focal cortical dysplasia in eloquent areas.

CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative ultrasound may have a role in focal cortical dysplasia localization optimizing its resection. In selected patient submitted to epilepsy surgery the integration of disposable technologies (i.e. brain neuronavigation, fMRI and iUS) with awake surgery could improve FCD identification preventing unacceptable neurological morbidity.
