Pseudoaneurysms as a complication of stereoelectroencephalography: Case series and clinical recommendations

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is commonly employed in the workup for epilepsy surgery in patients with focal drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). Intracranial hemorrhage is a known complication, with reported incidence rates ranging from .9% to 19.1%. Rarely, pseudoaneurysms have been reported in literature as a potential cause. This

Centromedian nucleus targeting in the pediatric population treated with thalamic responsive neurostimulation for drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The management of drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) in the pediatric population using neurostimulation of the centromedian (CM) nucleus of the thalamus (CMN) has been reported to be effective and safe. We present a case series of pediatric patients treated with responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and report on contact localization in relation to ...
