Abstract
Cortical tubers are one of the typical intracranial manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Multiple cortical tubers are easy to diagnose as TSC; however, a solitary cortical tuber without any other cutaneous or visceral organ manifestations can be confused with other conditions, particularly focal cortical dysplasia. We report a surgical case of refractory epilepsy caused by a solitary cortical tuber mimicking focal cortical dysplasia type II, and describe the radiological, electrophysiological, and histopathological findings of our case.
