Abstract

Epilepsy surgery and intracranial monitoring have a long history in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, spanning over 30 years. Stereo-EEG however, is a more recent offering. In this short communication, we discuss how Stereo-EEG has grown in the context of the Kingdom's healthcare model and the Vision 2030 model. We discuss the various positives of this technique and methodology as well as the various challenges that the hospitals offering Stereo-EEG have faced.
