SEEG (Stereoelectroencephalography)

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure used to locate the source of abnormal brain activity, such as seizures. It involves inserting thin, flexible electrodes into specific areas of the brain through small openings in the skull. These electrodes record electrical signals directly from brain tissue, providing detailed information about where seizures begin. SEEG is minimally invasive and allows doctors to precisely map brain activity, helping plan treatments like surgery. It is especially useful for patients with complex epilepsy whose seizures originate deep inside the brain or are difficult to locate with external methods.
