This chapter reviews the application of intracranial EEG monitoring and cortical stimulation in the surgical treatment of tuberous sclerosis (TS) patients with uncontrolled epilepsy. It begins with a review of issues related to seizure localization and determination of epileptogenic tubers, followed by a review of surgical series in which intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) or extraoperative EEG monitoring with subdural or depth electrodes was utilized. Specific interictal and ictal EEG patterns suggesting intrinsic epileptogenicity of tubers are described, and similarities with focal cortical dysplasia are emphasized. The discussion is illustrated with examples of invasive EEG findings in patients with TS, and their relationship to the centre and rims of epileptogenic and non-epileptogenic tubers, and to perituberal and remote cortex. The chapter provides a comprehensive resource that will help epileptologists and neurophysiologists to decide on the need for invasive EEG, and the significance of findings, in TS patients with uncontrolled epilepsy.

Intractable Seizures

Rasmussen’s encephalitis is a well-established, albeit rare cause of medically intractable epilepsy. In a small number of Rasmussen's cases, a second pathology is identified, which independently can cause medically intractable seizures (dual pathology). This paper documents a case of a 13-year-old male who presented with medically intractable epilepsy. The patient underwent a series of surgical resections, early on resulting in a diagnosis of focal cortical dysplasia and later yielding a diagnosis of coexistent Rasmussen’s encephalitis, marked by chronic inflammation, microglial nodules, and focal cortical atrophy, combined with focal cortical dysplasia (Palmini et al. type IIA, ILAE type IIA). The literature on dual pathology in the setting of Rasmussen’s encephalitis is reviewed.
