Abstract:
This report describes two patients who developed persistent neurologic deficits during intracranial EEG recording without clear evidence of intracranial edema or infarction. Both patients had previously received high-dose brain radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Because of this experience, we strongly caution the use of intracranial electrodes in patients with similar profiles.
