FOUNDATIONS: WHAT SEEG IS AND WHEN TO USE IT

13h45-14h05

What is SEEG?

Understanding what we measure (LFP) and why it matters (how SEEG differs from scalp EEG), the issue of spatial resolution, and the foundation for electro-anatomo-clinical correlation.

Philippe Kahane

.

14h05-14h25

When to use - and when NOT to use - SEEG

Clear indications and contraindications, and how to avoid unnecessary or low-yield explorations, in particular when it is unlikely to find a focal epileptogenic zone.

Birgit Frauscher

.

14h25-14h45

DISCUSSION (all faculty & participants)

14h45-15h05

Common pitfalls in early SEEG programs: lessons learned

Frequent mistakes in planning, implantation, and interpretation, with practical strategies to avoid them.

Birgit Frauscher

.

THINKING BEFORE ACTING: HOW TO PLAN A SEEG EXPLORATION

15h05-15h25

From semiology to hypotheses: the philosophy of SEEG

Step-by-step approach to translating semiology into anatomical hypotheses and defining a structured plan.

Philippe Kahane

15h25-15h45

16h15-16h35

Translating imaging and EEG into implantation strategy

Integration of MRI, fMRI, PET, SISCOM and VEEG monitoring to refine hypotheses and guide electrode placement.

Birgit Frauscher

.

16h35-16h55

Electrode planning and implantation strategy: a practical guide

Trajectory planning and safety considerations for common epilepsy patterns.

Birgit Frauscher

16h55-17h15

DISCUSSION (all faculty & participants)

IN SEARCH OF THE EPILEPTOGENIC ZONE: HOW TO INTEPRET SEEG DATA

17h15-17h35

Is finding the ictal low voltage fast activity the holy grail?

Practical framework to identify key ictal patterns, distinguish ictal onset from propagation, and interpret signal analysis tools quantifying the seizure onset zone.

Philippe Kahane

.

17h35-17h55

Are interictal biomarkers better than ictal biomarkers?

How to identify and interpret the clinical relevance of interictal biomarkers, both visually and using signal analysis tools.
