Evaluation of dual pathology among drug-resistant epileptic patients with hippocampal sclerosis

ConclusionsWe found DP among 14.5% of our drug-resistant epileptic patients with HS. DP patients mostly presented with CPS and had high proportion of ictal and interictal EEG discharges from regional and multi-focal areas. Gliosis and focal cortical dysplasia were the most common pathologies among DP patients. Patients with DP showed a similar behavior to bilateral HS in many features.
