    SEEG with depth electrodes enhances seizure localization in pharmaco-resistant epilepsy, aiding in surgical planning and radiofrequency thermocoagulation.

  • 2

    The Leksell Vantage frame offers a lighter, MRI-compatible option for SEEG, improving electrode placement accuracy and minimizing surgery duration.

  • 3

    Stereotactic planning requires collaboration between neurosurgeons and neurologists, utilizing 3D MRI to define electrode trajectories and avoid complications.

  • 4

    Proper trajectory planning is essential to minimize risks, including hemorrhage, by avoiding sulci and areas with brain atrophy during electrode insertion.

  • 5

    The setup of the Leksell Vantage frame is critical, as improper alignment can hinder instrument positioning and affect overall electrode placement accuracy.
