EPILEPSY PREVALENCE AND SEVERITY PREDICTORS IN MRI-IDENTIFIED FOCAL CORTICAL DYSPLASIA

Highlights • 29% of children with an MRI-identified FCD did not have epilepsy • The prevalence of epilepsy and drug-resistant epilepsy was 71% and 33%, respectively • Lobar location predicted the likelihood of developing epilepsy • Family history of seizures predicted the likelihood of developing ep...

Summary:Highlights • 29% of children with an MRI-identified FCD did not have epilepsy • The prevalence of epilepsy and drug-resistant epilepsy was 71% and 33%, respectively • Lobar location predicted the likelihood of developing epilepsy • Family history of seizures predicted the likelihood of developing epilepsy • Age of seizure onset predicted the chance of developing drug-resistance
