AB  - For  patients  with  intractable  epilepsy,  the  role  of  intracranial  surgery  has  been  progressively  recognized  as  a  well-tolerated  and  clearly  beneficial  treatment  option.1–3  Improvements  in  quality  of  life  are  now  frequently  documented  alongside  the  success  rates  with  surgical  approaches,  and  early  surgical  consideration  for  medical  failures  has  gained  acceptance  as  a  routine  part  of  the  comprehensive  approach  to  refractory  seizure  management.  Although  some  patients  can  proceed  to  an  operative  intervention  based  on  clinical  presentation  and  noninvasive  tests,3,4  others  require  more  investigation  before  surgical  resection  can  be  considered.  This  latter  group  may  have  insufficient  scalp  electroencephalography  (EEG)  documentation  of  their  seizure  disorder  or  an  unknown  correlation  between  seizures  with  a  suspected  lesion  or  substrate;  they  also  may  lack  localization  of  an  ictal  onset  that  is  amenable  to  surgical  resection.  In  other  cases,  surgical  resection  for  seizure  control  may  pose  significant  risk  if  adjacent  regions  harbor  the  eloquent  cortex.  When  language,  motor,  or  sensory  function  may  be  involved,  intracranial  electrodes  can  be  used  for  functional  mapping.
