Epilepsy surgery for children is a team effort. This review covers electroencephalography (EEG) methods for pre-surgical evaluation, defining key zones like the epileptogenic zone.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Clinical Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Epilepsy surgery in children necessitates a multidisciplinary team approach.
  • This section focuses on electroencephalography (EEG) techniques for presurgical evaluation.

Observation:

  • Scalp EEG, video-EEG monitoring, and intracranial EEG are crucial diagnostic tools.
  • The core concepts of the epileptogenic zone, irritative zone, and epileptogenic lesion are explained.

Findings:

  • The review details the application of EEG in identifying the source of seizures for surgical planning.
  • An illustrative case study demonstrates the practical implementation of these presurgical evaluation methods.

Implications:
