Utility of neuronavigation and neuromonitoring in epilepsy surgery Stone SS; Rutka JTNeurosurg Focus 2008[Sep]; 25 (3): E17The management of medically refractory epilepsy poses both a valuable therapeutic opportunity and a formidable technical challenge to epilepsy surgeons. Recent decades have produced significant advancements in the capabilities and availability of adjunctive tools in epilepsy surgery. In particular, image-based neuronavigation and electrophysiological neuromonitoring represent versatile and informative modalities that can assist a surgeon in performing safe and effective resections. In the present article the authors discuss these 2 subjects with reference to how they can be applied and what evidence supports their use. As technologies evolve with demonstrated and potential utility, it is important for all clinicians who deal with epilepsy to understand where neuronavigation and neuromonitoring stand in the present and what avenues for improvement exist for the future.|Brain Mapping/methods[MESH]|Epilepsy/diagnosis/physiopathology/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Image Processing, Computer-Assisted/methods/statistics & numerical data/trends[MESH]|Magnetoencephalography/methods/statistics & numerical data/trends[MESH]|Monitoring, Intraoperative/methods/*statistics & numerical data/trends[MESH]|Neuronavigation/methods/*statistics & numerical data/trends[MESH]|Neurosurgical Procedures[MESH] |
