Epileptic Patients

For some patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, we usually select conventional surgical resection, which has brought better outcomes. However, others are not eligible for a conventional open surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone because of the proximity of a functional area or the implication of a larger epileptogenic network. Initially, stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) exploration was a method of electroencephalography recording that was used in the presurgical evaluation of epileptic patients with complex epilepsy. Later, intracerebral electrodes used for SEEG were applied to produce radio frequency thermocoagulation (RF-TC) in epileptic patients. SEEG-guided RF-TC has produced some promising results, especially in the last dacade. Now, it has become popular as a palliative treatment to reduce seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. This article presents a review of SEEG-guided RF-TC.
