Sample text
Are the child and family prepared for surgery, including the psychological aspects of the invasive monitoring, the resection, or even its failure? 3) Abbreviations: electroencephalogram, EEG. and MEG. 2,3,7,8 Possible surgical procedures include multifocal cortical resection, hemispherectomy, corpus callosotomy, and multiple subpial transection (MST). These procedures are considered with either multifocal or generalized seizures. Multilobar resection or hemispherectomy are considered when the epileptogenic zone is primarily multifocal but unilateral, corpus callosotomy is done for either a bilateral or generalized seizure onset, and MST is considered when the epileptic focus is within eloquent cortex.

In the ideal epilepsy surgery patient, one localized cortical area contains the epileptic focus and has no eloquent cortex. In this ideal situation, the data are all congruent to the same cortical area, and no mapping modality demonstrates that the focus is within eloquent cortex. Congruent data imply neurological dysfunction in only one area, which predicts a better chance for seizure control. 17,18 lateralization and localization process are covered in Chapter 4. MEG is analogous to EEG, because it is a neurophysiological tool that identifies the magnetic fields generated by electrical activity.
