Clinical summary

Patient Implant location MEA location Epileptogenic zone Pathology
1 (41F) Right lateral and subtemporal regions Right middle temporal gyrus 4 cm from anterior temporal pole Right mesial temporal lobe Non-specific, no mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), no dysplasia
2 (30M) Left lateral frontal, mesial frontal, and lateral temporal lobes Left lateral frontal, minimum distance 2 cm superior to Broca's area and on different gyrus Boundaries not defined but maximal area identified in left superior/lateral frontal lobe N/A (MST only)
3 (39M) Left lateral and mesial frontal lobe Left lateral frontal, minimum distance 1.5 cm superior to Broca's area and on different gyrus Left frontal operculum (3 × 3 cm2 cortical area), superior to Broca's area Non-specific
4 (25F) Left lateral and subtemporal regions Left inferior temporal gyrus 2.5 cm from anterior temporal pole Left mesial and anterolateral temporal lobe Mild MTS

Summary of clinical data for the four patients, including demographic information, pathology results, the location covered by the clinical implant and the location of the MEA in each case. In the case of Patient 3, the MEA was located within the maximally involved area in the left frontal lobe, however the clinicians elected to perform multiple subpial transection (MST) instead of a resection because an additional epileptogenic region was found in the temporal lobe.
