A New Method for Delineation of Epileptic Brian Tissue During Epilepsy Surgery (The HFO Study)

Exclusion Criteria

• •Patients who underwent chronic ECoG monitoring preceding epilepsy surgery (grids). This is a biased population, since the results of the extensive pre-surgical work-up as well as the results of the cECoG monitoring period are included in the final decision making regarding the resection, and a precise seizure onset zone as well as spike and HFO area are known.
• •Patients with an occipital focus undergoing aECoG. Currently, it is not possible to discriminate between pathological or physiological occipital HFOs, and thus unsafe to perform HFO guided resections in patients with a presumed occipital focus.
