Résumé

Presurgical evaluation aims to localize the seizure onset zone (SOZ) for a tailored resection. Interictal [F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET is now an established test to lateralize and/or localize the SOZ, particularly if MR imaging is negative or if the noninvasive assessment shows discrepancies. PET can show hypometabolic areas associated with SOZ and the potential altered metabolic brain networks. It is very sensitive, and this is increased if images are read coregistered to the patient's MR imaging. PET hypometabolic intensity and pattern show prognostic value.
