Advancements in Stereotactic Epilepsy Surgery: Stereo-EEG, Laser Interstitial Thermotherapy, and Responsive Neurostimulation

Abstract

32 has found distinct advantages with SEEG in terms of safety and patient comfort for large bihemispheric implantations and in patients with prior history of craniotomy. Finally, SEEG allows for the generation of a four dimensional picture of epileptogenic zone and spread patterns, which is not reliably achieved with cortical surface recording techniques. As such, our center is actively pursuing SEEG-based white-matter recording guided by functional imaging to further define cerebral networks and spread patterns in epilepsy.
