“…Many studies using EEG‐fMRI have been focused on the noninvasive identification of the irritative zone (Al‐Asmi et al., ; Hamandi et al., ; Gotman et al., ; Salek‐Hadaddi et al., ; Thornton et al., ; Donaire et al., ), detecting BOLD signal changes in 40–80% of patients and revealing some degree of concordance with the presumed epileptic generator in 50–100% of the cases. However, there are few large case series reporting patients with ictal EEG‐fMRI, taking into account the intrinsic difficulty in performing this test during the ictal period (Jackson et al., ; Detre et al., ; Krings et al., ; Kubota et al., ; Salek‐Hadaddi et al., ; Mórocz et al., ; Salek‐Hadaddi et al., ; Federico et al., ; Archer et al., ; Di Bonaventura et al., ; Kobayashi et al., ; Liu et al., ; Tyvaert et al., ; Donaire et al., ,b; Salek‐Haddadi et al., ; Thornton et al., ; Fernández et al., ; Chaudhary et al., ). Most of the studies correlated the BOLD activations in the ictal EEG‐fMRI with the results from structural neuroimaging tests (Kobayashi et al., ; Tyvaert et al., ) or with invasive examinations (Thornton et al., ; Chaudhary et al., ).…”
