Localizing the Epileptogenic Zone With High Resolution Electroencephalography
Localizing the Epileptogenic Zone With High Resolution Electroencephalography
Multicenter prospective study comparing the diagnosis value of high-resolution EEG and
 depth-EEG to localize the epileptogenic zone in drug resistant partial epilepsies.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  medically intractable patial epilepsy confirmed by video-EEG recordings of epileptic
 seizures.

 -  Depth EEG (Stereo-EEG) required to delineate the epileptogenic zone and define the
 surgical procedure.

 -  full informed consent of the patient (or of his/ her legal representative)

 -  15 year or older patient

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  contraindication to cortectomy

 -  contraindication to depth-EEG

 -  indication of epilepsy surgery without depth-EEG monitoring

 -  high grade glioma, arterio-veinous malformations

 -  pregnancy

 -  history of severe cardio-vascular event (coronaropathy, stroke)
