Surgical Outcomes Related to Invasive EEG Monitoring with Subdural Grids or Depth Electrodes In Adults: A..., Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases highlighting an incidence of 0.4-1 ‰ and prevalence of 0.4-1 % [1–3]. Approximately 30 % of the patients are resistant to antiepileptic drugs, [4–7] in which surgical resection constitutes the best therapeutic option towards achieving the seizure-free status [8]., Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases highlighting an incidence of 0.4-1 ‰ and prevalence of 0.4-1 % [1–3]. Approximately 30 % of the patients are resistant to antiepileptic drugs, [4–7] in which surgical resection constitutes the best therapeutic option towards achieving the seizure-free status [8]. While noninvasive video-EEG monitor and cranial MRI can be conclusive regarding resective surgery throughout a larger proportion of patients (˜60%), invasive exploration with intracranial electrodes plays a pivotal role for the remaining cases, [9–14] often including non-lesional drug-resistant epilepsy, temporal or extratemporal lesional epilepsy with discordant electro-clinical results [8]., admin,
