EEG‐related Functional MRI in Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes

Abstract: The localization of epileptic foci is an important issue in children with extratemporal epilepsies. However, the value of noninvasive methods such as the EEG‐assisted functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has not been sufficiently investigated in children.
