Successful epilepsy surgery for tuberous sclerosis complex evaluated by stereoelectroencephalography
Evaluating the candidacy for epilepsy surgery in patients with tuberous sclerosis can be challenging, particularly when non‐invasive investigations do not show a clear epileptogenic zone. Stereoencephalography may be useful in such cases. We present a case in which the primary epileptogenic tuber wa...

Zusammenfassung: | Evaluating the candidacy for epilepsy surgery in patients with tuberous sclerosis can be challenging, particularly when non‐invasive investigations do not show a clear epileptogenic zone. Stereoencephalography may be useful in such cases. We present a case in which the primary epileptogenic tuber was successfully identified by stereoencephalography, which resulted in seizure freedom following epilepsy surgery.
