Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is a limited abnormality in the cyto-architectural development of the cerebral cortical plate. It is characterized by great anatomopathological, clinical, electroencephalographic, radiological heterogeneity and by its pharmaco-resistance. Our observation concerns a 12-year-old girl, in whom the DCF was revealed by epilepsy initially focal and infrequent then rapidly generalized and increasing frequency. Brain MRI showed a typical aspect of FCD isolated and localized to the left parietal lobe. After the initial failure of valproate, epileptic seizures were controlled by Carbamezepine lasted for ten years. Through this observation, we will describe the clinical and radiological elements associated with drug-susceptible epilepsy FCD.
