Electrocorticography-Guided Resection Enhances Postoperative Seizure Freedom in Low-Grade Tumor-Associated Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Low-grade cerebral neoplasms are commonly associated with medically intractable epilepsy. Despite increasing evidence that epileptogenic brain regions commonly extend beyond visible tumor margins, the utility of extended surgical resections leveraging intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether ECoG-guided surgery is associated with improved postoperative seizure control. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis encompassing both ad… Show more

“…To maximize postoperative seizure control, resection was also combined with intraoperative ECOG, which has been shown to improve seizure outcomes in patients with low-grade lesions and focal cortical dysplasia. [35][36][37][38] When deciding to perform both procedures concurrently, there were several important factors to consider. Notably, it was necessary to discuss whether clipping the aneurysm should occur during the same surgery as resection of the aforementioned lesion, and if done concurrently, what sequence would be most appropriate while also balancing neuroprotective strategies with the desire to perform ECOG.…”
