Abstract

The ventral precuneal and posterior cingulate area (VP-PC) represents a distinct but topographically variable mesial parietal site of epileptogenicity that may manifest as a common temporal lobe-mediated ictal expression. In a review of records of 62 presumptive epilepsy surgery cases, two cases of primary epileptogenicity expressed within the VP-PC were identified and are detailed to bring attention to this electroencephalographically-hidden area of ictal expression. Details of their investigation and surgical treatment illustrate distinctly different approaches addressing the problem and bringing about a seizure-free outcome.
