Abstract
The advent of modern, high resolution MRI and post-processing techniques allows the identification of the underlying structural abnormalities in most (> 80%) patients with partial epilepsy undergoing presurgical evaluation. This information is crucially important for case selection, and the prediction of post-operative seizure control. In consequence, the whole agenda of pre-operative assessment should change, with increasing emphasis on high quality neuroimaging.
