Preoperative diagnostic algorithm of patients with refractory epilepsy

Invasive EEG monitoring, and the selection of the type of intracranial electrodes and their placement depends on the localization and lateralization of epileptogenic regions. It is justified in cases of normal brain MRI, in cases of disagreement in the findings of interictal and ictal EEG and brain MRI, between the semiology of seizures and neuroradiological findings, or between semiology of seizures and EEG, and also in cases of dual pathology or polytopical changes where epileptogenic lesion cannot be identified, or in the cases of positive MRI findings, where the pathomorphological changes are localized in the vicinity of motor and language cortical areas.
