Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Morbidity and Outcomes Associated With Use of Subdural Grids vs Stereoelectroencephalography in Patients With Intractable Epilepsy.

TL;DR: This direct comparison of large matched cohorts undergoing SEEG and SDE implantation reveals distinctly better procedural morbidity favoring SEEG, with SEEG being more versatile and applicable to a range of scenarios, including nonlesional and bilateral cases, than SDE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial evaluation and laser ablation for epilepsy with periventricular nodular heterotopia.

TL;DR: It is found that while inter-ictal spiking from nodules is common, clinical seizures rarely arise solely from nodular tissue, and it is suggested that PVNH either orchestrates or amplifies local network epileptogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly Epileptiform Bursts Are Associated With Seizure Recurrence.

TL;DR: Whether or not HEBs are indeed predictive of recurrent seizure or may be used to direct the therapy for status epilepticus, specifically the weaning of anesthetic medications, requires further prospective study in a larger cohort of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ictal infraslow activity in stereoelectroencephalography: Beyond the "DC shift".

TL;DR: Analysis of ISA by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) may help to clarify its localizing value, namely the focal versus widespread expression ofISA, which is both widespread and focal, and possesses an infraslow spatiotemporal signature.
