EEG source localization of scalp EEG localizes near encephaloceles, however, typically not in the encephalocele itself; this may be due to scalp EEG sampling propagated activity or alternatively that the seizure onset zone extends beyond the herniated cortex. Surprisingly, we observed increased ESL to encephalocele distances in patients with excellent surgical outcomes. Larger cohort studies including intracranial EEG data are needed to further explore this finding.
