Carefully selected patients with MRI-negative TLE can be good candidates for surgery. Surgery should be considered with caution in patients with clinical features of neocortical seizure onset and contralateral propagation of the discharge. Use of 18F-FDG PET may be helpful to improve SEEG and surgical strategies. The presented data help in optimising the selection of patients with MRI-negative TLE with good chances to benefit from surgery.
