Mapping brain networks for epilepsy surgery: multi-modal approach using stereo-EEG

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

This 15-minute session will give a brief introduction to use of intra-cerebral depth electrode recording using stereoelectroencephalography (stereo-EEG, SEEG) for presurgical evaluation of focal drug-resistant epilepsy, in conjunction with other structural and functional imaging modalities. An illustrative case will be shown of a patient with frontal lobe epilepsy in whom multi-modal and quantified analysis of the epileptogenic zone network helped to guide surgical decision making for treating refractory hyperkinetic seizures.
