Our study helps doctors understand epilepsy better by using special brain scans and tests. Epilepsy is a condition that causes seizures. Doctors often need to find the part of the brain where seizures begin, called the epileptogenic zone. Usually, this requires a test called stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), which involves placing electrodes inside the brain. We want to see if new types of scans, like ASL-MRI and fMRI (types of brain imaging), can help find this zone without needing SEEG.

To be part of this study, children must be under 18, have a certain type of epilepsy, and be part of a health insurance plan. Children are not eligible if they need anesthesia for the MRI or have generalized epilepsy.

• The study aims to reduce invasive procedures for children with epilepsy.
• Participants must be part of a pre-surgical workup.
• Some participants might need additional EEG-video recordings.
