Distribution of Patients According to Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Epileptogenic Zone and Engel Classification

Resection refers to surgical destruction, including laser ablation, resection, and functional disconnection. All patients in this table had the ic-EEG SOZ resected.

a

p-Value from Fischer's exact test.

b

rs-fMRI EZ anatomically agreed with the ic-EEG SOZ and was resected.

c

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.
