Highlight • MEG localization increase the yield of pre-surgical evaluation in intractable epilepsy. • Concordance between MEG and ICEEG had favorable outcome. • Complete resectioning of MEG findings led to a successful epilepsy surgery outcome. • Tight clusters of sub-lobar concordance between MEG/ICEEG associate with better localization.
