    Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients experience drug-resistant epilepsy, making surgery a promising option for seizure freedom.

  • 2

    MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRIgLITT) is increasingly used as a first-line treatment for focal epilepsy.

  • 3

    MRIgLITT allows real-time monitoring of thermal lesions, ensuring precise control over tissue damage during the procedure.

  • 4

    The technique is particularly beneficial for treating deep lesions and minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

  • 5

    Standardization of MRIgLITT indications and techniques is necessary to optimize outcomes and minimize complications.
