摘要
The authors reviewed preoperative MRI and EEG findings in relation to postsurg ical outcome in 17 patients with refractory epilepsy due to tuberous sclerosis c omplex (TSC). Resecting concordant MRI (main tuber) and EEG abnormalities offere d seizure freedom (8/9, 89%; median follow-up 25 months) comparable to other f ocal etiologies. Patients with nonconcordant MRI and EEG findings did less well (3/8, 38%, seizure free; p=0.027, OR=13).
