We define specific neurophysiologic characteristics for focal cortical dysplasia, a neuronal migration disorder. We reviewed data from published reports and our patients with focal cortical dysplasia. Our patients underwent preoperative scalp video-electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography, and intraoperative or extraoperative electrocorticography monitoring. Scalp EEG showed trains of rhythmic epileptiform spike or sharp waves. Positive spikes correlated with early seizure onset, MRI lesion around the rolandic fissure, hemiparesis, and a less favorable outcome. Interictal electrocorticography showed continuous epileptogenic discharges: repetitive electrographic seizures and bursting discharges or continuous or quasicontinuous rhythmic spiking. Ictal electrocorticography showed paroxysmal fast and/or repetitive spiking. Magnetoencephalography showed clustered spike sources within and extending from the lesion. Cortical stimulation gave more frequent, lower-threshold afterdischarges and higher-threshold primary motor function. Focal cortical dysplasias are highly and intrinsically epileptogenic. For surgical seizure control, EEG, electrocorticography, and magnetoencephalography must delineate the intrinsic epileptogenic zone within and extending from the focal cortical dysplasia identified by MRI.
