sEEG for expansion of a surgical epilepsy program: Safety and efficacy in 152 consecutive cases

Abstract Objective Stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is an intracranial encephalography method of expanding use. The need for increased epilepsy surgery access has led to the consideration of sEEG adoption by new or expanding surgical epilepsy programs. Data regarding safety and efficacy are uncom...
