Table 1.
Clinical Scenario | Preferred method | Secondary method |
---|---|---|
Lesion of hypothetical SOZ near or in eloquent cortex | SDE | SEEG |
Lesion or hypothetical SOZ has a deep location or is not near eloquent cortex | SEEG | SDE & depth electrodes |
Need for bilateral explorations & reoperation | SEEG | SDE & depth electrodes |
Prior failure of SDE to localize SOZ | SEEG | SDE & depth electrodes |
Need to map epileptogenic network | SEEG | SDE & depth electrodes |
Abbreviations: IEEG, intracranial electroencephalography; SDE, subdural electrodes; SEEG, stereoelectroencephalography; SOZ, seizure onset zone.
