Highlights
SEIZURES AND NEUROFIBROMATOSIS I Twenty-two (6%) patients, ages 5 to 57 years, had developed seizures among 359 attending a neurofibromatosis clinic at the Dept of Neurology, Children's Hospital, Harvard Med School, Boston
Results of surgery for epilepsy due to cortical dysplasia (CD) are reviewed in 17 patients treated at the Maudsley Hospital, London (Hirabayashi S et al I Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry July 1993:56:765)
The use of MRI and PET should improve the identification of CD patients amenable to surgery
