Methods Retrospective case series
Participants 53 children and young adults from 2 Italian centres with extratemporal lobe epilepsy
Interventions Tailored resections with localisation: 5 frontomesial, 6 fronto‐dorsolateral, 6 fronto‐mesial + dorsolateral, 2 fronto‐orbital, 5 fronto‐operculo‐insular, 1 fronto‐central, 4 frontocentro‐parietal, 3 fronto‐centro‐temporal, 5 parietal, 2 parietotemporal, 1 centro‐parietal, 1 occipital, 7 occipito‐temporal, and 5 temporo‐parieto‐occipital. In 5 cases, only partial excision of the EZ was performed because of its functional intersection with eloquent areas: 1 fronto‐dorsolateral, 1 fronto‐mesial + dorsolateral, 1 fronto‐central, 1 parietal, and 1 temporo‐parieto‐occipital; the remaining resections were considered as complete
Outcomes Assessed as Engel class at least 18 months post surgery
