Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Epilepsia Open"
DOI: 10.1002/epi4.70009
Abstract: Stereoelectroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG‐guided RFTC) has been increasingly used as diagnostic and therapeutic approach for drug‐resistant focal epilepsies (DREs). We aimed to describe seizure outcomes of RFTC before and after further neurosurgical intervention. read more here.
