Case study of intracranial EEG records of patients with focal cortical dysplasia type I and II

In this study we try to find out if it is possible to differentiate type of focal cortical dysplasia by features obtained from intracranial EEG. We compare occurrence and rates of three biomarkers present in epilepsy in patients with focal cortical dysplasia type I and II. Case study is made on long term night records of 6 pediatric patients. Detection of interictal epileptiform discharges and high-frequency oscillations is made by automated algorithms, delta brush are marked visually. Position of lesion and electrodes inside were obtained from MRI. In individual rates were not found difference on significant level. No major significance were found, but as promising seem to be ratio inside to outside rates of high-frequency oscillations and presence of delta brush, which were found only in patients with focal cortical dysplasia type II.
