Research paper: Complications to invasive epilepsy surgery workup with subdural and depth electrodes: a prospective population-based observational study

摘要

ObjectiveIn some patients who undergo presurgical workup for drug-resistant epilepsy invasive seizure monitoring is needed to define the seizure onset zone and delineate eloquent cortex. Such procedures carry risks for complications causing permanent morbidity and even mortality. In this study, prospective data on complications in a national population-based sample were analysed.
