Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Epileptology
Neurophysiology

Background:

Focal epilepsy diagnosis relies on precise localization of seizure onset zones.
Current invasive methods include subdural grid placement and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).
SEEG conceptualizes epilepsy as a 3-D network, contrasting with the focal pathology model.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the distinct principles and methodologies of SEEG compared to subdural grids.
To illustrate the application of SEEG in diverse electroclinical epilepsy syndromes.
To emphasize the strategic electrode placement in SEEG for accurate epilepsy localization.

Main Methods:

Strategic placement of multiple depth electrodes for invasive electrophysiological recording.
Utilizing a sparse and directed sampling method to capture network dynamics.
Analysis of four distinct electroclinical epilepsy syndromes to demonstrate SEEG strategy.

Main Results:

SEEG provides a comprehensive 3-D network view of epilepsy, unlike contiguous spread models.
The sparse, directed sampling of SEEG effectively captures distributed epileptic networks.
Case illustrations demonstrate SEEG's utility across varied epilepsy presentations.

Conclusions:

SEEG represents a paradigm shift in understanding and localizing focal epilepsy.
The strategic implantation in SEEG is crucial for mapping complex epileptic networks.
SEEG offers a valuable alternative for surgical candidates with challenging epilepsy localization.
