Current value of intraoperative electrocorticography (iopECoG)

ConclusionAfter a period of scepticism, iopECoG seems back in the focus of interest for intraoperative guidance of resecting epileptogenic tissue to raise postoperative favorable seizure outcome. In temporal and extratemporal lesional epilepsies, especially in cases of focal cortical dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis, or cavernous malformations, an excellent correlation between iopECoG-guided resection and postoperative seizure relief was found.
