AbstractFor localizing the epileptogenic zone in cases of focal epilepsies detailed clinical investigations, imaging studies and electrophysiological methods are in use. In lesional epilepsies the intrapreoperative localization of the lesion and it's location to the eloquent cortex is essential for the neurosurgeon. The development in image guided neurosurgery lead us to use neuronavigation systems to localize intracerebral lesions or functionally eloquent cortical areas or subcortical pathways during surgery. Neuronavigation brought changes in preoperative evaluation and in resective surgery in epilepsy as well. In this article we describe the basics of neuronavigation and enhance the advantages of the technique in epilepsy surgery during the presurgical evaluation with invasive electrodes, in resective surgery and DBS for epilepsy.
