Article Synopsis
- Intracranial electroencephalographic (IEEG) recording using subdural electrodes (SDEs) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is essential for identifying the epileptogenic zone responsible for seizures.
- SDEs are better for mapping surface seizure activity while SEEG allows for deeper brain exploration, with SEEG being associated with fewer complications and better overall tolerance.
- The combination of both techniques may enhance the accuracy of seizure localization, and recent studies provide insights into when to use each method effectively in clinical practice.
To assess the seizure outcomes of stereotactic laser amygdalohippocampectomy (SLAH) in consecutive patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) in a single center and identify scalp EEG and imaging factors in the presurgical evaluation that correlate with post-surgical seizure recurrence. We retrospectively reviewed the medical and EEG records of 30 patients with drug-resistant mTLE who underwent SLAH and had at least 1 year of follow-up. Surgical outcomes were classified using the Engel scale.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the video-EEG recordings of patients during long-term video-EEG monitoring. We compared the duration of seizures, seizure phases (tonic, clonic, and tonic-clonic phases), and the occurrence and duration of postictal generalized EEG suppression (PGES) in patients with and without periictal interventions (e.
