Summary

Managing uncontrolled partial epilepsy requires a multidisciplinary approach to identify epileptogenic lesions and eloquent brain areas. Invasive intracranial techniques, such as depth or subdural electrodes, can improve diagnostic accuracy when surface EEG is inconclusive.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Uncontrolled partial epilepsy management necessitates a precise, multidisciplinary strategy.
  • Identifying epileptogenic lesions and their role in seizure generation is crucial.
  • Mapping eloquent brain areas is essential for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications, principles, results, and complications of invasive intracranial techniques for epilepsy surgery.
  • To enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in cases with inconclusive surface EEG findings.

Main Methods:

  • Combined analysis of seizure semiology, electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities, neuroimaging, and cerebral function tests.
  • Utilization of invasive intracranial techniques, including intracerebral depth and subdural electrodes, when necessary.

    • Resective surgery is based on integrated data from multiple diagnostic modalities.
    • Detailed understanding of lesion responsibility and seizure onset localization is key.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive, analytic approach is vital for managing uncontrolled partial epilepsy.
    • Invasive intracranial EEG monitoring is a valuable tool for surgical decision-making.
    • Careful pre-surgical evaluation minimizes complications and optimizes outcomes.
