OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of sEEG in locating the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. Secondary objectives were to analyze sEEG-related morbidity and outcomes for post-sEEG thermocoagulation and cortical resection.
METHODS: Data were collected on 49 sEEGs from 46 consecutive patients between 2010 and 2018. Following sEEG, either resective or palliative surgery with vagus nerve stimulation was performed. In 8 patients, EZ thermocoagulation was performed before EEG leads were withdrawn. Outcomes were collected based on the Engel and ILAE outcome scales.
RESULTS: sEEG was contributive in 45 of 49 recordings, with a success rate of 92% in locating the EZ. Minor complications, such as transient neurologic deficit and electrode implantation failures, occurred in 6%. One major complication occurred, with death due to atypical late hematoma. Thermocoagulation was performed in 8 patients and stopped or significantly reduced seizure frequency in 7 (88%). Outcome of surgical resection (n=33) was good, with 20 (61%) seizure-free patients and 32 (97%) with definite improvement.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that sEEG is an effective technique for EZ location in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. sEEG was contributive in up to 92% of patients, allowing thermocoagulation and/or surgical resection that resulted in seizure-freedom in two-thirds and seizure-reduction in one-third of cases. This study highlights the need for strict selection of implantation candidates, with strong initial hypothesis as to EZ location.
