All FLE groups showed hypometabolism in the anterior insula. In addition, distinct patterns of extra-EZ hypometabolism were identified for each FLE group. This quantitative FDG-PET analysis expanded our understanding of the topography of epileptic networks and can guide EZ localization in the future.
