Abstract
We presented a clinical case of MR-negative focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type IIb, in which diagnostic value of semi- and automatic MR morphometry has been established. This method identified specific features for FCD in a patient with MR-negative form of focal epilepsy, such as blurring of the grey-white matter border and thickening of the cortex. The histological diagnosis of FCD type IIb has been confirmed in the region of interest detected by MR morphometry. Seizure freedom (Engel class Ia, follow-up 5 years) has been achieved after the surgical resection.
