Stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the epileptogenic zone: a potential treatment and prognostic indicator for subsequent excision surgery.

This study demonstrates that SEEG-guided RFTC is a safe and potential treatment option for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. A prolonged duration of seizure freedom following RFTC may serve as a predictive marker for the success of subsequent excision surgery.
