Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Results of DBS of ATN in refractory epilepsy depend on accuracy of the electrode's location. We searched for characteristic intraoperative, intracerebral EEG recording pattern from anterior thalamic nuclei (ATNs) as a biological marker for verifying the electrode's position. METHODS:There were six patients with refractory epilepsy scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure. At surgery, to map the target, we recorded EEG from each lead of DBS electrodes. One patient underwent a 24 hours EEG with continuous recording from both ATNs before internalization of stimulator units. RESULTS:In all patients we recorded spontaneous bioelectric activity of ATNs. The pattern of the recording from the ATN was similar in all cases. In the one patient where 24-hour recording was done with simultaneous scalp EEG, a complex partial seizure was captured. CONCLUSION:This is the first report of using DBS electrode for intraoperative EEG recordings from the ATN in patients with refractory epilepsy. Since we managed to find the characteristic pattern of bioelectric activity of ATN, this technique seems to be a promising method for targeting this structure during the operation.
