Inclusion criteria involved diagnosis of a supratentorial tumor,\u00a0\u22652 unequivocal seizures, and\u00a0\u22656 mo follow-up. Patients with isolated cortical dysplasia or posterior fossa tumors were excluded. Logistic regression models evaluated predictors of ECoG use, and the impact of ECoG, gross total resection, and focal cortical dysplasia with tumors on seizure freedom by Engel Class and anti-epileptic drug use (AED).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 119 pediatric patients were included (n\u00a0=\u00a069 males, 58%; median age, 11.3 yr). Forty-one patients (34.5%) had ECoG-guided surgery. Preoperative seizure duration and number and duration of AED use were significant predictors for undergoing ECoG. There were no differences in seizure freedom (Engel Class I) or improved Engel Score (Class I-II vs III-IV) in patients who did or did not have ECoG at 30 d, 6 mo, and 1, 2, or 5 yr. Patients undergoing ECoG required a greater number of AEDs at 6 mo (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a0.01), although this difference disappeared at subsequent time intervals.
