Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Epileptology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Drug-resistant epilepsy in pediatric patients often requires precise localization of critical brain areas.
  • Stereo-EEG electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) is an emerging technique for functional brain mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and safety of stereo-EEG ESM for localizing sensorimotor functional areas in pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
  • To analyze sensorimotor and after-discharge thresholds and the somatotopy of sensorimotor responses.

Main Methods:

  • ESM was performed using specific electrical stimulation parameters (50 Hz, biphasic, 2-3s trains, 1-9 mA).
  • Electrode contacts were classified relative to anatomic sensorimotor parcels using co-registered neuroimaging and Neurosynth reference.
  • Diagnostic performance indices, sensorimotor/after-discharge thresholds, and somatotopy were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • ESM demonstrated high accuracy (0.80) and specificity (0.86) in localizing sensorimotor parcels in 15 pediatric patients.
  • Mean sensorimotor threshold (3.4 mA) was significantly lower than the mean after-discharge threshold (4.2 mA).
  • Thresholds decreased with increasing intelligence quotient, and sensorimotor responses showed clear somatotopy.

Conclusions:

  • Stereo-EEG ESM is a valid and safe method for the diagnostic localization of sensorimotor functional areas in pediatric epilepsy.
  • The study provides evidence supporting the clinical utility of ESM in surgical planning for pediatric epilepsy.
