In this study, Dr. George M Ibrahim and others examined the utility of simultaneous scalp and stereotactic intracranial electroencephalography (SSIEEG) in epilepsy patients. Although SSIEEG offers valuable insights into epilepsy and cognitive function, its routine use is uncommon. Challenges include interpreting postcraniotomy scalp EEG due to surgically implanted electrodes.
Rhythmlink MRI-safe and CT-compatible scalp electrodes were applied with collodion, using the international 10-20 system, with a minimum 10 mm distance from any SEEG bolt.
