Nonlesional central lobule seizures: use of awake cortical mapping and subdural grid monitoring for resection of seizure focus

Abstract

A limited resection of the sensorimotor cortex may be performed with acceptable neurological morbidity in patients with medically refractory perirolandic epilepsy. This procedure is an alternative to multiple subpial transections in the surgical management of intractable nonlesional epilepsy originating from the sensorimotor cortex.
