Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is an important cause of refractory seizures and catastrophic epilepsy in infants and children who had epilepsy surgery.
This manuscript will discuss age-related unique clinical characteristics in evaluation of infants and young children because the understanding of these age-related features is critical in selecting children who can benefit from epilepsy surgery. In addition, we will review the non-invasive tools available for the presurgical evaluation of children with FCD and their individual contribution to the formulation of the presurgical hypothesis.
局灶性皮质发育不良（FCD）是接受癫痫手术的婴幼儿难治性癫痫和灾难性癫痫的重要病因。
本手稿将讨论在评估婴幼儿时与年龄相关的独特临床特征，因为了解这些与年龄相关的特征对于选择能从癫痫手术中获益的儿童至关重要。此外，我们将综述可用于FCD患儿术前评估的非侵入性工具及其在术前假设形成中的各自作用。
