Takeaway
Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided surgery results in high rates of seizure-onset zone (SOZ) identification and seizure freedom in children with focal epilepsy.
Why this matters
This is the first multicenter, nationally representative study of SEEG in pediatric patients with focal epilepsy in the UK.
SEEG may allow more complex cases of refractory focal epilepsy in children to be considered for surgery, particularly if computational analysis of SEEG recordings can be incorporated.
