SEEG is the abbreviation for Stereotactic Electroencephalography (or Stereoelectroencephalography), a minimally invasive technique involving the implantation of intracranial depth electrodes. It is primarily used in the preoperative evaluation of patients with medically refractory focal epilepsy. By employing stereotactic techniques, depth electrodes are precisely placed into suspected brain regions to directly record intracranial electrical activity, thereby accurately localizing the epileptogenic zone (the brain area responsible for seizure onset).This invasive diagnostic approach is currently indicated for patients with complex, difficult-to-localize epileptic foci, or when the suspected focus is near eloquent cortex.

Candidates for SEEG

Patients with medically refractory focal epilepsy in whom non-invasive evaluations fail to identify the epileptogenic zone.
Patients whose epileptogenic zone may involve or lie close to eloquent cortex (e.g., language or motor areas).
Patients with epileptogenic zones located in deep brain structures (e.g., insula, cingulate gyrus).
Patients with MRI-negative focal epilepsy.

Advantages of Xiamen Humanity Hospital

High Volume and Scale: We accept patients deemed inoperable by other institutions and successfully localize and resect epileptic foci using SEEG. Our center has one of the largest experiences in China with electrode implantation in young children, including nearly 80 cases in infants under 1 year old and 300 cases in children aged 2–4 years. The youngest patient to undergo surgery was only 84 days old.

Technical Leadership: Our team possesses extensive experience in interpreting intracranial EEG, achieving internationally leading outcomes. We have successfully re-evaluated and localized epileptic foci in numerous patients who had failed SEEG treatments at other medical centers.
