Neurosurgical robots in China: State of the art and future prospect
Summary: Neurosurgical robots have developed for decades and can effectively assist surgeons to carry out a variety of surgical operations, such as biopsy, stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and so forth. In recent years,

Stability, Structure and Scale: Improvements in Multi-modal Vessel Extraction for SEEG Trajectory Planning [PDF]
Purpose Brain vessels are among the most critical landmarks that need to be assessed for mitigating surgical risks in stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) implantation. Intracranial haemorrhage is the most common complication associated with implantation,

Neurophysiological investigations of drug resistant epilepsy patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation to differentiate responders from non-responders [PDF]
Background and purpose In patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for drug resistant epilepsy (DRE), up to a third of patients will eventually not respond to the therapy.

Craniofacial Encephalocele: Updates on Management
Craniofacial encephaloceles are rare, yet highly debilitating neuroanatomical abnormalities that result from herniation of neural tissue through a bony defect and can lead to death, cognitive delay, seizures, and issues integrating socially. The etiology

Correlating magnetoencephalography to stereo-electroencephalography in patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. [PDF]
Magnetoencephalography and stereo-electroencephalography are often necessary in the course of the non-invasive and invasive presurgical evaluation of challenging patients with medically intractable focal epilepsies. In this study, we aim to examine the significance of magnetoencephalography dipole clusters and their relationship to stereo ...

Visual Features in Stereo-Electroencephalography to Predict Surgical Outcome: A Multicenter Study. [PDF]
ObjectiveEpilepsy surgery needs predictive features that are easily implemented in clinical practice. Previous studies are limited by small sample sizes, lack of external validation, and complex computational approaches. We aimed to identify and validate visually stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG) features with the highest predictive value for ...
