Mapping Motor Function
Figure 80.1. Figure A is an MRI coregistration of four subdural arrays (plates) and three depth electrodes. The subdural arrays include a high-density 10 × 12-electrode array (labeled “A” plate)…
Encephalopathic Generalized Epilepsy and Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome
Figure 20.1. Diffuse slow spike-and-wave complexes on interictal EEG in a 7-year-old with LGS. The finding of SSW on the EEG is an ominous finding. Drug-resistant generalized epilepsy is present…
Continuous Spike-and-Wave During Sleep Including Landau–Kleffner Syndrome
Figure 21.1. Graphic representation of continuous spike-and-wave during sleep evolution over time. The age of clinical events varies in individual patients but tends to peak at approximately the displayed ages….
Strategies and Indications for Evaluation with Invasive Electrodes
Figure 81.1. Intraoperative aspect of SDG/depth electrode implantation in a patient with extratemporal epilepsy and nonlesional MRI. The picture shows a large right-sided temporofrontal craniotomy with placement of SDGs at…
