Paediatric epilepsy surgery in a middle-income country: the red cross war memorial children's hospital experience
Purpose While epilepsy surgery has been shown to reduce seizure frequency and severity and even cures seizures in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, data from middle-income countries (MIC) are lacking. Method This study is a retrospective review of children with drug-resistant epilepsy who …

Identifying the Seizure Onset Zone using Intracranial EEG-fMRI
… onset zone (SOZ) in patients with refractory epilepsy. Recent studies have shown that using intracranial electrodes (iEEG) combined with fMRI offers unique insight into changes in blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) responses associated with interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). However, …
