Purpose: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCD) are localized regions of malformed cerebral cortex and are very frequently associated with epilepsy in both children and adults. A broad spectrum of histopathology has been included in the diagnosis of FCD. An ILAE task force proposes an international consensus classification system to better characterize specific clinicopathological FCD entities.

- International consensus classification of hippocampal sclerosis in temporal lobe epilepsy: A Task Force report from the ILAE Commission on Diagnostic Methods (2013, positive): “It has not yet been clarified whether FCD type IIIa is an acquired pathology with accompanying reorganizational dysplasia resulting from some initial injury that has also produced HS, or a distinct developmental entity.”
- A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012 (2012, background): “A major change in this group has been the proposal of a new classification of FCDs, a heterogeneous group of disorders that commonly cause medically refractory epilepsy in children (Taylor et al., 1971; Blümcke et al., 2011).”
- Hemispherotomy leads to persistent sleep-like slow waves in the isolated cortex of awake humans (2025, unknown): “Additional contributing factors could include focal cortical malformations and gliosis [150–152].”
