Magnetoencephalography in Patients with Tuberous Sclerosis and Localization‐related Epilepsy

Summary:  Purpose: To clarify the usefulness of magnetoencephalography (MEG) for diagnosis of the spatial relations between spike foci and suspicious epileptogenic tubers on MRI in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS) and to compare MEG spike foci with single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) findings.
