Epilepsy Surgery Part I: Surgical Decision Making

In this seminar:

This ASSFN webinar offers practical walkthrough of how epilepsy surgery decisions are made. It covers seizure classification, semiology, and EEG findings. It delves into operating on the dominant mesial temporal lobe; a review of key considerations and the role of commonly used adjunctive tests—such as WADA and fMRI. Expert speakers breakdown EEG and intracranial EEG fundamentals for the neurosurgical audience, plus a practical discussion on semiology-driven localization and how seizures are currently classified. Dr. Eva Alden, Dr. Jerry Shih and Dr. Joseph Neimat serve as presenters with Dr. Danika Paulo and Dr. Nehaw Sarmey as moderators.
