Patients with Type II FCD, particularly with Type IIb malformations are the best candidates for curative surgery, including cases with lesions in brain eloquent areas. Kids with Type I FCD have much less chances to become free of seizures when attempting focal cortectomy. However, some of them with early onset catastrophic epilepsies may benefit from larger surgeries using lobectomy or various disconnections.
