Summary
Partial epilepsy cases linked to neuronal migration disorder (NMD) often show favorable outcomes with antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment. Complete seizure control and remission after AED discontinuation indicate a positive prognosis in these NMD patients.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Epileptology
- Developmental Neuroscience
Background:
- Neuronal migration disorders (NMD) are a significant cause of refractory epilepsy.
- Partial epilepsy associated with NMD, particularly in the opercular region, is less commonly reported.
- Understanding the electroclinical features and prognosis of NMD-related epilepsy is crucial for patient management.
