The seizure onset zone (SOZ) and propagation pathways in supplementary motor area (SMA) seizures are difficult to identify because of the short duration and swift propagations of this seizure type. Herein, we studied ictal cerebral blood flow changes, seizure electrical activities, and clinical sign...
