title: Partial complex seizures in an 11-year-old girl.
abstract: Partial complex seizures are often refractory to antiepileptic medications and may require epilepsy surgery for control. With the use of contemporary neuroimaging techniques the number of children with "idiopathic" partial complex seizures has declined. A presurgical neuroimaging evaluation for refractory partial complex seizures is discussed.
