Abstract
Present day surgical treatment of epilepsy is based on the failure of medical treatment and the localization of epileptic focus. The most accurate technic is stereo-electro-encephalography (SEEG) consisting of chronic implantation of deep electrodes by a stereotactical technique. However the inconvenience of the high cost and risk of cerebral damage due to the introduction of necessarily numerous electrodes must be borne in mind.
