Abstract
In 2011, the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) proposed a first international consensus of the classification of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). This FCD classification had been widely used in worldwide. In this review paper, the authors would like to give helpful comments for better understanding of the current FCD classification. Especially, the basic concepts of FCD type I, such as "radial", "tangential" and "microcolumn" will be discussed with figures. In addition, the limitations, genetic progress and prospect of FCD will be suggested.
