Nodular heterotopia and absence seizures: fMRI evidence that they may be connected

Highlights • Two patients were identified with absence seizures (AS). • Subjects had co-existent and peri-ventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH). • EEG fMRI was used to explore the potential association between PNH and AS. • The PNH displayed connectivity to the typical absence network. • This study...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Two patients were identified with absence seizures (AS). • Subjects had co-existent and peri-ventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH). • EEG fMRI was used to explore the potential association between PNH and AS. • The PNH displayed connectivity to the typical absence network. • This study demonstrates that fMRI may be used to understand complex networks.
