Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a significant cause of drug-resistant epilepsy, often necessitating surgical intervention. Type IIb FCD poses challenges due to its strong association with drug-resistant seizures. Effective management involves advanced imaging, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, and precise surgical techniques. This case study illustrates these strategies in an 11-year-old female with drug-resistant epilepsy attributed to Type IIb FCD.
