When an individual with an established diagnosis of genetic epilepsy and a focal lesion on MRI is undergoing preoperative evaluation, it is crucial to conduct a comprehensive analysis to understand the relevance of the focal finding for the patient's phenotype and thus anticipate potential surgical outcomes. In instances where epilepsy in DS patients is influenced by a specific focal structural lesion, resective surgery should be carefully considered after precise pharmacological treatment, acknowledging the persistent influence of an SCN1A variant on expected outcomes.
