Magnetoencephalography is a newly developed technology used for diagnostic and brain mapping imaging during the presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable epilepsy. It provides comprehensive localisation of an epileptogenic focus using simultaneous recordings from the entire brain surface. Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography are considered complementary and conf...

We read with interest the paper by Dr Alsaadi and colleagues on ‘‘potentially misleading extratemporal lobe lesions’’ in patients with symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy. Most of their successfully operated patients with extratemporal lesions also had hippocampal atrophy on the operated side, which has positive prognostic value for mesiotemporal surgery in temporal lobe epilepsy, even in the pr...

Abstract Extra temporal lobe epilepsy (eTLE) may involve heterogenous widespread cerebral networks. We investigated the structural network of an eTLE cohort, at postulated epileptogenic zone later surgically removed, as a node; resection (RZ). hypothesised patients with abnormal connection to/from RZ, to have proportionally increased abnormalities based on topological proximity in addition poor...
