title: MRI-negative prefrontal epilepsy due to cortical dysplasia explored by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).
abstract: We report the case of a young boy presenting with pre-frontal seizures including singing automatisms. There was no visible lesion on MRI, but following localisation using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), surgery revealed an underlying dysplastic lesion.
