Epilepsia
-
Invasive presurgical work up of pharmacoresistant epilepsies presumes integration of multiple diagnostic modalities into a comprehensive picture of seizure onset and eloquent brain areas. During resection, reliable transfer of evaluation results to the patient's individual anatomy must be made. We investigated the value of digital photography-based grid localization in combination with preoperative three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for clinical routine. ⋯ Digital photography in combination with preimplantation 3D MRI allows the generation of reliable tailored resection plans in neocortical epilepsy surgery. The method enhances surgical safety and confidence.
