  Fig. 1 A: Ictal EEG during a nonhabitual seizure. The EEG showed localized rhythmic activity involving electrodes K3-K4 and K8-K9 over the inferior frontal region, which was not previously involved in her habitual seizures. B: A left craniectomy performed 7 days after electrode placement revealed a focal 3×2-cm well-formed hematoma underlying the electrode contacts over the inferolateral frontal cortex.
