ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is the one of the most prevalent neurological conditions. A lot of these epileptics have an underlying structural abnormality. Out of which, focal cortical dysplasia (FCDs) is quite often. Combined PET-MRI is the emerging imaging technique used to diagnose FCDs. We aimed to evaluate and describe PET-MRI findings in patients with FCDs. We studied 21 patients with suspected FCDs who underwent PET-MRI imaging and surgery later on. This study was done in a cross-sectional prospective way in a single medical center.
Key words: Focal cortical dysplasias, Combined PET-MRI, Epilepsy
