Abstract
An accurate definition of the epileptogenic zone is critical to the success of epilepsy surgery. When noninvasive presurgical studies are insufficient, stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) becomes indispensable. This study illustrates a systematic approach using an illustrative case of centroparietal epilepsy, detailing the stepwise workup, planning, and image-guided robot-assisted frameless stereotactic implantation of intracerebral electrodes. The video provides insights into technical aspects and a single-center experience. Demonstrating efficacy, safety, and feasibility, SEEG emerges as a valuable procedure for studying drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
