2024 SEEG | The Course

A Fresh Look at the Fundamentals of SEEG:

 

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a method for determining whether a pharmaco-resistant epilepsy can be relieved by surgery. From a pre-surgical procedure that requires the understanding of seizure semiology through its correlation with brain electrical activity, SEEG has evolved over time into a comprehensive approach of the patient with epilepsy. This approach encompasses the successive steps of patient management from outpatient clinic to the surgical operation when it is indicated. Its implementation in the clinical setting requires a gathering of multidisciplinary skills. An ideal SEEG team is formed when a common culture is shared beyond the individual competencies. This course is designed to teach the scientific and medical basis of SEEG through its essential disciplines and their relationship, looking at this 50+ years old practice in the context of modern epileptology.

Course Objectives:

 

The course is designed to teach the scientific and medical basis of SEEG through its essential disciplines and their relationship, looking at this 50+ years old practice in the context of modern epileptology.

Main objectives:

  • Describe the evolution in time of the presurgical methods leading to the current practice of SEEG

  • Figure out the anatomical basis of electrode implantation, its referential system, and how it prepares rational planning to tailored resection or ablation

  • Examine the nature of the SEEG signal, how the depth electrodes capture it, and how the dynamics of multiple cortical sites recording can be understood

  • Explore the concept of neural network, its applicability to the epileptogenic process, and the way it determines the emergence of clinical semiology

  • Elucidate the logical chain linking SEEG to anatomically preplanned surgery

  • Discuss in depth illustrative cases

Who is this course for:

 

This course is suitable for neurologists and neurosurgeons beginning in SEEG practice and will also offer new insights to those with an established practice.
