Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

273
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is crucial in resective epilepsy surgery.
  • It provides real-time data on neural integrity and functional tissue.
  • Presurgical investigations are complemented by IONM for precise surgical guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current IONM techniques for epilepsy surgery.
  • To detail methods for mapping the epileptic focus.
  • To outline IONM for identifying and monitoring critical functional brain structures.

Main Methods:

  • Electrocorticography
  • Computerized high-frequency oscillation mapping
  • Single-pulse electric stimulation
  • Motor evoked potentials (MEPs)
  • Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs)
  • Visual evoked potentials (VEPs)
  • Cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs)

Main Results:

  • IONM techniques enable precise mapping of the epileptic focus.
  • Functional brain areas can be identified and monitored in real-time.
  • These methods assess ongoing neural integrity during surgery.

Conclusions:

  • IONM is essential for maximizing epileptic tissue resection.
  • It aids in avoiding permanent postoperative neurological deficits.
  • IONM enhances surgical outcomes in epilepsy patients.
