Key Points

The aim is to assess how the agreement and disagreement between EEG and MRI affects seizure outcomes post-surgery in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy.
Participants included pediatric and adult patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy.
Evaluated concordance and discordance between EEG and MRI findings.
Post-surgical seizure outcomes were analyzed based on pre-operative EEG-MRI assessments.
Higher rates of seizure freedom were observed in patients with concordant EEG and MRI results.
Discordance between EEG and MRI predicted poorer seizure outcomes post-surgery.
Statistical significance was noted in the correlation between EEG-MRI discordance and seizure recurrence.

Implication

Evaluates seizure outcomes in epilepsy patients based on EEG-MRI discordance, suggesting clinical implications for surgery.

Abstract

To evaluate the impact of EEG–MRI concordance & discordance on post-surgical seizure outcomes in pediatric & adults with focal drug resistant epilepsy (DRE)
