BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Aimed to investigate the safety, accuracy, and efficacy of stereo electroencephalography (SEEG) in children of various ages, with particular emphasis on those younger than 3 years. There is limited guidance regarding whether SEEG can conducted on very young children. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted between July 2018 and August 2022. It involved 88 patients who underwent 99 robot-assisted SEEG procedures at our center. The patients were categorized into 3 groups based on their age at the time of the robot-assisted SEEG procedures: group 1 (3 years and younger, n = 28), group 2 (age 3-6 years, n = 27), and group 3 (older than 6 years, n = 44). Clinical data, SEEG demographics, complications, and seizure outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 675 electrodes were implanted, with an average of 6.82 ± 3.47 (2.00-16.00) electrodes per patient (P = .052). The average target point error for the 675 electrodes was 1.93 ± 1.11 mm, and the average entry point error was 1.30 ± 0.97 mm (P = .536 and P = .549, respectively). The overall percentage of complications was 6.06% (P = .879). No severe or long-term neurologic impairment was observed. Of the total 99 procedures included in this study, 78 were admitted for epilepsy surgery for the first time, while 9 patients were treated twice and 1 patient was treated 3 times. There were 21 radiofrequency thermocoagulation and 78 second-stage resective procedures performed after SEEG. There was no statistically significant difference in Engel class I outcomes among the patients who underwent SEEG in the 3 age groups (P = .621). CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted SEEG were demonstrated to be safe, accurate, and efficient across different age groups of children. This technique is suitable for children younger than 3 years who have indications for SEEG placement.
背景与目的:旨在研究立体定向脑电图(SEEG)在不同年龄段儿童中的安全性、准确性和有效性,尤其关注3岁以下儿童。关于能否对非常年幼的儿童进行SEEG检查,目前指导意见有限。 方法:本回顾性研究于2018年7月至2022年8月进行。研究纳入了在我们中心接受99例机器人辅助SEEG手术的88例患者。根据机器人辅助SEEG手术时的年龄,将患者分为3组:第1组(3岁及以下,n = 28),第2组(3至6岁,n = 27),第3组(6岁以上,n = 44)。分析临床数据、SEEG人口统计学、并发症和癫痫发作结局。 结果:共植入675根电极,平均每位患者植入6.82±3.47(2.00 - 16.00)根电极(P = .052)。675根电极的平均靶点误差为1.93±1.11 mm,平均入点误差为1.30±0.97 mm(分别为P = .536和P = .549)。并发症的总体发生率为6.06%(P = .879)。未观察到严重或长期的神经功能损害。本研究纳入的99例手术中,78例首次因癫痫手术入院,9例接受了二次治疗,1例接受了三次治疗。SEEG术后进行了21例射频热凝和78例二期切除手术。3个年龄组接受SEEG检查的患者在恩格尔I级结局方面无统计学显著差异(P = .621)。 结论:机器人辅助SEEG在不同年龄组的儿童中被证明是安全、准确和有效的。该技术适用于有SEEG植入指征的3岁以下儿童。
