ABSTRACT
The aim of resective epilepsy surgery is to completely remove the epileptogenic zone. No method alone can directly determine the location of the epileptogenic zone and the area it covers. For this reason, not only semiologic evaluation but also other adjunctive diagnostic methods are frequently used. Seizure semiology, noninvasive and invasive electrophysiological studies, anatomical and functional imaging methods should be carefully evaluated as a whole in order to determine the epileptogenic zone correctly. Localized and lateralizing findings have an important role in the localization of the epileptogenic zone. In this section, localized and lateralizing findings of epileptic seizures in children will be discussed.
