Abstract

Deep brain stimulation Endoscopy Epilepsy surgery Neuromodulation Neurosurgery Stereotactic surgery Adult Humans Anterior Thalamic Nuclei Drug Resistant Epilepsy Deep Brain Stimulation Retrospective Studies Feasibility Studies Quality of Life
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) is proposed in patients with severe intractable epilepsy. When used, the transventricular approach increases the risk of bleeding due the anatomy around the entry point in the thalamus. To avoid such a complication, we used a transventricular microendoscopic technique.
