  • Title: Sutton's law in epilepsy: because that is where the lesion is.
    Author: Mortati KA, Arnedo V, Post N, Jimenez E, Grant AC.
    Journal: Epilepsy Behav; 2012 Jun; 24(2):279-82. PubMed ID: 22542999.
    Abstract:
    Successful epilepsy surgery requires unambiguous identification of the epileptogenic zone. This determination may be a challenge when the pre-surgical evaluation yields conflicting data. We evaluated an adult patient with a right insular mass, but a seizure semiology, interictal EEG, and ictal EEG, suggesting left temporal lobe epilepsy. Resection of the mass, a ganglioglioma, resulted in seizure freedom and disappearance of interictal left temporal lobe epileptiform discharges. This case illustrates the principle that in localization-related epilepsy, the money is usually in the mass.
