Takeaway
One-stage limited corticectomy, in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and bottom-of-sulcus dysplasia (BOSD), is safe and effective for seizure control.
Why this matters
Explosive, relapsing-remitting drug-resistant focal epilepsy is an outcome of BOSDs that can have negative impact on quality of life.
Results of this study show that less invasive one-stage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)- and electrocorticography (ECoG)-guided corticectomy is a safe and effective solution for seizure freedom.
