Language mapping using electrocorticography versus stereoelectroencephalography: A case series.

We report a case series of fifteen patients that underwent language mapping with either ECOG (5), SEEG (9), or both (1). Six patients in the SEEG group underwent resection or ablation with only mapping via SEEG. No patients in the SEEG group that underwent resective or ablative surgery experienced persistent language deficits. These results suggest that language mapping with SEEG may be considered as a clinically useful alternative to language mapping with ECOG. PMID: 29803145 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
