Summary: "The book is a complete and practical guide to thinking and doing SEEG which will be a solid reference to practitioners around the world. It starts with a review of the main non-invasive pre-implantation investigations and how they inform the selection of patients and the implantation scheme. It proceeds to implantation techniques and issues specific to the different brain regions, including the complex question of temporal-plus epilepsies and investigation of regions that were practically impossible to reach with subdural electrodes such as the insula. The problem is then attacked according to the different types of epileptogenic lesions; as examples, the tuberous sclerosis complex and periventricular nodular heterotopia can only be investigated with SEEG. The critical importance given by the French and Italian epilepsy schools to the relation between a very carefully observed clinical symptomatology and functional anatomy is evident throughout this book"-- Provided by publisher.
