Applications of Intraoperative Ultrasound in Epilepsy Surgery for Focal Cortical Dysplasia

In this report, we present a convenient tool to define the boundary of FCD and improve the surgical outcome. The safe and effective method of image guidance by intraoperative ultrasound was demonstrated, and is time-saving and of a high resolution. In the future, intraoperative ultrasound will be useful in defining subtle epileptogenic lesions, especially when the surgeons encounter FCDs.
