AbstractOne major risk of intraoperative stimulation mapping is the production of stimulation-evoked seizures. Cold Ringer's lactate solution was applied directly to the irritated cortex in 22 patients with stimulation-induced seizures that occurred during intraoperative brain mapping procedures. The irrigation rapidly and reliably terminated these simple partial seizures and eliminated the need for intravenously administered short-acting barbiturates with antiepileptic properties. The authors describe a practical and simple method for controlling stimulation-induced seizure activity during brain mapping procedures.
