Electrical stimulation mapping using depth stereo-EEG electrodes is an important method in the structure of presurgical diagnostics in patients with drug-resistant forms of epilepsy. Electrical stimulation mapping was first used in the 1960s and has been actively developed since then, but despite such a long history, a unified protocol for the use of this technique has not been developed and different approaches to stimulation mapping are used in different countries. Based on publications on the topic in PubMed and other available resources, we tried to briefly outline the current opinion on the significance of this technique, paying special attention to the methodological approaches of different schools to stimulation parameters when mapping epileptogenic zones, highlighting in a separate section approaches to stimulation of functionally significant zones Finally, we summarize data on the effectiveness of this method in the presurgical diagnostics of epilepsy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how well patients recover their language skills after having brain surgery for a type of tumor on the left side of the brain.
  • Researchers tested 59 patients' language abilities before surgery, right after, and several months later to see how they changed.
  • They found that while some patients didn't recover well, better immediate language mapping during surgery helped with recovery, especially in areas like understanding sentences and using verbs.

Unlabelled: Preserving the function of the facial nerve is extremely important in surgery for vestibular schwannomas. Two methods of arachnoid dissection are described for resection of vestibular schwannoma via retrosigmoid approach (from the brain stem and internal auditory canal).

Objective: To evaluate the results of arachnoid dissection of the facial nerve from internal auditory canal when resecting the vestibular schwannoma.

Background: In recent years, temporal lobe encephalocele has become more common in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy. Despite available experience, there are still no clear recommendations for choosing the extent of surgery in these patients.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of diagnosis and surgical treatment of focal drug-resistant epilepsy associated with temporal lobe encephalocele.

Unlabelled: Robot-assisted implantation of deep electrodes for stereo-EEG monitoring has become popular in recent years in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. However, there are still few data on safety of this technique.

Objective: To assess the incidence of complications in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy undergoing robot-assisted implantation of stereo-EEG electrodes.
