Surgical outcome in patients with MRI-negative, PET-positive temporal lobe epilepsy

Highlights • Surgical outcomes of MRI−, PET+ TLE patients are similar to those of MTS patients. • HM on PET is a good predictor for surgical outcome in patients with normal MRI. • More than 2/3 of MRI−, PET+ patients with TLE are seizure-free.
