Distribution of Patients According to Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Epileptogenic Zone and Engel Classification
| Engel | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| rs-fMRI EZ, N (%) | 1 (N = 21) | 2 (N = 1) | 3 (N = 7) | 4 (N = 4) | pa |
| Resectedb | 19 (90) | 0 (0) | 3 (43) | 3 (75) | 0.01 |

Resection refers to surgical destruction, including laser ablation, resection, and functional disconnection. All patients in this table had the ic-EEG SOZ resected.
p-Value from Fischer's exact test.
rs-fMRI EZ anatomically agreed with the ic-EEG SOZ and was resected.
rs-fMRI EZ was anatomically separate from the ic-EEG and was not resected.
EZ, epileptogenic zone; ic-EEG, intracranial electroencephalogram; SOZ, seizure onset zone.
