摘要

Background

For drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), surgery is recommended. There is no evidence of a seizure outcome advantage of temporal lobectomy over other strategies despite the high risks of this surgical procedure.

Methods

We describe a Temporal Resection guided by intraoperative stereo-electroencephalography (iSEEG) and the 18FluoroDeoxyGlucose PET (18FDG PET) (iSP-TR) to treat lesional MTLE. We avoided functional cortical areas using navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS).

Conclusion

iSP-TR allows for a spare brain parenchyma compared to temporal lobectomy without compromising seizure outcomes.
