Abstract:
Stereo-EEG is a fundamental part of the diagnostic process for a significant number of selected patients with focal epilepsy. The complexity inherent in planning a SEEG study means that this method can only reasonably be put into practice in treatment centers with multidisciplinary teams dedicated to epilepsy surgery and where teaching and specific training are considered essential for the proper development of a SEEG program. In our short communication, we present the development of the SEEG program at our hospital, which is one of the most important tertiary pediatric centers in Europe.
