Reflex Seizures in Patients with Malformations of Cortical Development and Refractory Epilepsy

Summary:  Purpose: Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are usually highly epileptogenic, and their hyperexcitability could facilitate the occurrence of reflex seizures. We sought to characterize reflex seizures in patients with MCDs and refractory epilepsy.
