Unlocking the brain’s secrets to fight epilepsy

Understand to treat better

SEEG looks deep inside the brain to uncover where seizures begin,opening the door to more precise and life-changing treatments.

What is sEEG ? 

SEEG is an advanced medical technique used to better understand certain forms of epilepsy that do not respond to medication. It allows doctors to record electrical activity from deep inside the brain using thin electrodes.

This procedure is considered when standard methods like MRI or surface EEG cannot precisely locate the area of the brain where seizures begin. SEEG helps identify exactly where seizures start and how they spread, which is essential for planning potential surgical treatment.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. After careful planning using imaging tests, electrodes are implanted through small openings in the skull. The patient then stays in a specialized hospital unit for several days, where brain activity is continuously monitored. Anti-seizure medications may be temporarily reduced to allow seizure observation.

Specialized epilepsy centers

When someone with uncontrolled seizures doesn’t respond to appropriate medications and develops drug-resistant epilepsy, it’s essential they be evaluated by a specialist trained in epilepsy, called an epileptologist.
An epileptologist is a neurologist who has completed additional clinical training to gain deep expertise in treating epilepsy. These specialists are well-versed in advanced treatment options.

Why see an epileptologist?

People with drug-resistant epilepsy need specialized care. An epileptologist will review the person’s seizure history, any other diagnosed and treated conditions, and the medications that have been prescribed. They’ll assess whether treatments have failed to control the seizures and why.
The epileptologist may also order additional tests to determine whether the person is a candidate for other therapies, and which ones might be most effective.
‍
Epileptologists often work as part of a team at specialized epilepsy centers, collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide the most effective care. A primary care doctor or general neurologist can refer someone to an epileptologist or a specialized center.

What are epilepsy centers?

Epilepsy centers are specialized facilities equipped with the resources needed to provide expert care for people living with epilepsy. These centers unite professionals from various disciplines who work together to better understand the causes of uncontrolled seizures and to identify effective treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Epilepsy centers bring together a team of professionals that may include epileptologists, general neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychologists, radiologists, nurses, technicians, social workers, and other experts experienced in epilepsy care.

Drug-resistant epilepsy

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects people of all ages, and from all parts of the world. It’s caused by abnormal or excessive electrical activity in neurons - the brain cells responsible for transmitting chemical and electrical messages. When this activity becomes irregular, it can trigger seizures. A person is considered to have epilepsy when they experience repeated seizures without an immediate identifiable cause.

In most cases, anti-seizure medications help control seizures effectively. However, for about one-third of patients, seizures persist. This may be due to a misdiagnosis, an unsuitable treatment, incorrect dosage, or lifestyle factors such as stress, lack of sleep, or alcohol use.
When two well-chosen treatments fail to control seizures, the condition is referred to as drug-resistant epilepsy. In such cases, a specialized evaluation is essential to explore other treatment options, such as surgery, neurostimulation, or specific dietary approaches.
Thanks to medical advances, effective alternatives now exist to improve the quality of life for people living with epilepsy. Early care in an expert center is strongly recommended.
