Experiences of awake surgery in non-tumoural epilepsy in eloquent localizations
Résumé
Background: Whilst modern awake intraoperative mapping has been widely accepted and implemented in the last decades in neuro-oncology, sparse reports have been published on the safety and efficiency of this approach in epilepsy surgery.
Method: This article reports four cases with different locations of epileptogenic zones as examples of possible safe and efficient resections.
Result: The results of the resections on seizure control were Engel 1 (no disabling seizures) in all cases and no patient experienced significant neurological deficits.
Discussion: The discussion focuses on aspects of the future of epilepsy surgery in a hodotopical paradigm.
