Cleveland Clinic Brain Mapping Workshop - SEEG in MRI-Negative Epilepsies: Indications, Techniques, and Interpretation

For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, the next step in controlling seizures is surgery. Despite the use of invasive subdural recording, failure to localize or resect the epileptogenic zone (EZ) occurs. Recent advances in brain mapping techniques offer less-invasive procedures for some patients that provide a more efficient process for obtaining critical data for surgical planning. This workshop explores the indications, limitations, surgical strategies and practical nuances related to the Stereo EEG methodology applied to patients with nonlesional imaging.
