Minimally invasive electrodiagnostic monitoring in epilepsy surgery

Br J Neurosurg. 2002 Oct;16(5):498-500. doi: 10.1080/0268869021000030339.

Abstract

A new method of obtaining electrographic recordings from endoscopically-based intraventricular monitoring was performed in three patients with intractable epilepsy, who subsequently underwent open resective neurosurgery. As a minimally invasive procedure, it was associated with no peri-operative complications, and electrical intraoperative monitoring of the epileptogenic focus yielded excellent results.
