Stereo-electroencephalography (stereo-EEG) is a safe invasive procedure for epilepsy diagnosis. This method precisely identified the epileptogenic zone, enabling tailored surgical treatment for many patients with intractable partial epilepsy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Epileptology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Medically intractable partial epilepsy presents significant challenges in localization and treatment.
  • Stereo-EEG offers a detailed approach for investigating complex epilepsy cases.
  • Accurate identification of the epileptogenic zone is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the technical aspects and outcomes of stereo-EEG investigations.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of stereo-EEG in patients with refractory epilepsy.
  • To highlight the role of stereo-EEG in guiding individualized epilepsy surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Stereo-EEG investigations were performed on 70 patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy since January 1990.

  • Detailed description of technical requirements, explored cerebral regions, and implantation patterns.
  • Assessment of procedural morbidity rates.

    • Main Results:

    • A low morbidity rate of 1.4% was observed during stereo-EEG procedures.
    • The defined three-dimensional epileptogenic zone facilitated tailored surgical excision in 60 patients.
    • 9 patients were awaiting surgery, and 1 was excluded from surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Stereo-EEG is a safe and effective method for precisely localizing the epileptogenic zone in patients with intractable epilepsy.
    • The methodology's peculiarities in 'depth recordings' and 'invasive' procedures are emphasized.
    • Individualized surgical excision based on stereo-EEG findings leads to favorable outcomes.
