Slow‐Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in a Patient with Focal Cortical Dysplasia

Summary: Purpose: To evaluate the effect of slow‐frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (SF‐rTMS) on interictal epileptiform activity and seizure frequency in a patient with medically refractory partial seizures due to focal cortical dysplasia.
