Over the past 2 decades MRI has evolved into one of the most powerful tools for studying patients with neurological diseases. For epilepsy patients it is often the key entrance to a work-up which may end with epilepsy surgery and postsurgical seizure freedom. An epileptogenic lesion on MRI is the most important prognostic outcome parameter, but its proper identification is not as obvious. Sometimes lesions are misinterpreted, sometimes overlooked, and sometimes only identified after postprocessing of adequate imaging data.
