Invasive EEG-electrodes in presurgical evaluation of epilepsies: Systematic analysis of implantation-, video-EEG-monitoring- and explantation-related complications, and review of literature.
CONCLUSION: Overall, sEEG is a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Systematic imaging after implantation and explantation helps to identify clinically silent complications of sEEG. In the literature, complication rates of up to 4.4% in sEEG and in 49.9% of subdural EEG are reported; however, systematic imaging after explantation was not performed throughout the studies, which may have led to underreporting of associated complications.
