Objective: To investigate whether local lesions created by stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) affect distant brain connectivity and excitability in patients with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Methods: Ten patients with focal DRE underwent SEEG implantation and subsequently 1 Hz bipolar repetitive electrical stimulation (RES) for 30 s before and after RFTC. Root mean square (RMS) of cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) was calculated for 15 ms to 300 ms post-stimulation with baseline correction.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency characterized by prolonged seizures, with significant risks of neuronal injury and mortality. This case presents a 60-year-old man with drug-resistant epilepsy and a history of recurrent prolonged seizures. His seizures began in early childhood and persisted despite multiple anti-seizure medications.

Objectives: Robotic-assisted laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive method for ablating seizure foci and has gained prominence in epilepsy treatment. The use of robotic guidance in these procedures can minimize errors in probe placement, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes. In this meta-analysis, we assessed the accuracy, safety, and effectiveness of robot-assisted LITT for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Objective: To investigate the impact of epilepsy surgery on the developmental outcome in infancy with pharmacoresistant epilepsy and its associated factors.
Method: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in adherence with PRISMA 2020. Literature searching was done using PubMed, CENTRAL, and Scopus database.

Introduction: Epilepsy is a condition associated with stigma and considerable morbidity, placing a significant burden on patients and their families. It is fundamental to be mindful of the fact that a substantial number of patients remain unaware of the effective surgical procedures that have shown great success in many cases, drawing upon the global underutilization of epilepsy surgery (ES). In this study, we explore the knowledge and attitudes of epilepsy patients towards ES at Jordan University Hospital (JUH).
