In brief
In brief
This study presents Bayesian statistical methods to determine how many consecutive ipsilateral seizures must be recorded during EEG monitoring to confidently lateralize the seizure-onset zone in epilepsy patients with bilateral brain lesions. The approach provides a probabilistic framework to guide surgical decision-making when traditional lateralization is complicated by pathology on both sides of the brain.

Statements in this article
Lateralization of seizure-onset zone during EEG monitoring in people with bilateral potentially epileptogenic lesions is important to facilitate clinical decision making for resective surgery.
Two Bayesian approaches estimate the number of consecutive ipsilateral seizures required to lateralize the seizure-onset zone to a given lower limit of 95% credible interval.
