Abstract :Objective: To assess the localizing value of interictal scalp EEG in epileptic focal cortical dysplasia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FCD); patients. Methods: A retrospective observational study of EEG records of epileptic patients seen at the Marmara University Hospital was performed. EEG and MRI findings were evaluated to detect a possible correlation.  Results: EEG findings were consistent with MRI findings in 6 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37.5%);. Conclusion: EEG findings were irrelevant in 62.5% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n:10); of patients. Additional imaging techniques such as ictal SPECT, MEG etc. will clearly augment the success of lesion localisation in FCD patients.
