DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12663
Abstract: Insular epilepsy (IE) is an increasingly recognized cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy amenable to surgery. However, concerns of suboptimal seizure control and permanent neurological morbidity hamper widespread adoption of surgery for IE. We performed a systematic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/epi.17571
Abstract: Due to heterogenous seizure semiology and poor contribution of scalp electroencephalography (EEG) signals, insular epilepsy requires use of the appropriate diagnostic tools for its diagnosis and characterization. The deep location of the insula also presents… read more here.

DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a6143
Abstract: SUMMARY: Insular epilepsy is underdiagnosed and accounts for a number of failed operations. Identifying insular target lesions on MR imaging can help guide intracranial electroencephalography and improve the outcome of surgery. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11081041
Abstract: Operculo-insular epilepsy (OIE) is an under-recognized condition that can mimic temporal and extratemporal epilepsies. Previous studies have revealed structural connectivity changes in the epileptic network of focal epilepsy. However, most reports use the debated streamline-count… read more here.
