Brief description/objective

We share our experience with extratemporal MRI-negative epilepsies that received "image-guided" resection with the use of neuronavigation after invasive presurgical video-EEG monitoring. We describe and discuss our technique of image generation, navigation system registration, and surgical resection. In addition, we evaluate seizure outcome with respect to the preoperatively planned versus achieved resection.
