Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), as a minimally invasive method that can stably collect intracranial electroencephalographic information over long periods, has increasingly been applied in the diagnosis and treatment of intractable epilepsy in recent years. Over the past 20 years, with the advancement of materials science and computer science, the application scenarios of SEEG have greatly expanded. Bibliometrics, as a method of scientifically analyzing published literature, can summarize the evolutionary process in the SEEG field and offer insights into its future development prospects.
This article selected all the literature records retrieved on November 4, 2024, from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The search terms were as follows: "Stereo-electroencephalography" or "Stereo electroencephalography" or "Stereo-EEG" or "Stereo EEG" or "SEEG." The document types included were research articles and reviews. For analysis, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" were employed to analyze various aspects of the SEEG field, including authors, institutions, countries and regions, and research hotspots.
We reviewed a total of 1,383 non-duplicate literature records from 2002 to 2023, including 1,241 research articles, 116 review articles and 26 letters. Observing the annual publication trends, there has been an overall increase since 2002. The most influential journal in this field is . Other journals with considerable impact include , , , , and . The top 5 most influential scholars are Bartolomei F, Tassi L, Nobili L, Russo GL, and Mc Gonigal A. As for the analysis of countries and regions, France occupies a leading position in this field with its early start, while China and the United States have also emerged as focal points since 2020. Research on SEEG has expanded beyond its initial use for localizing epileptic foci and thermo-coagulation treatments and have been employed as a medium to facilitate real-time prediction of epileptic seizures and enabling the exploration of brain network connectivity.
As a minimally invasive tool for collecting intracranial electroencephalographic signals, SEEG continues to offer vast potential for development and application. Advances in electrode materials and robotic-assisted stereotactic techniques, have enabled SEEG to simultaneously sample multiple brain regions, acquire electrical signals from deep brain structures. These advantages significantly enhance the precision of epileptic focus localization in diagnosis and treatment, addressing the limitations of subdural electrodes. Through bibliometric analysis, this paper traces the developmental trajectory of SEEG and identifying key technological milestones, thereby providing a reference for scholarly research directions.
立体定向脑电图（SEEG）作为一种能够长期稳定收集颅内脑电图信息的微创方法，近年来在难治性癫痫的诊断和治疗中应用越来越广泛。在过去20年里，随着材料科学和计算机科学的进步，SEEG的应用场景得到了极大扩展。文献计量学作为一种科学分析已发表文献的方法，可以总结SEEG领域的发展历程，并为其未来发展前景提供见解。
本文选取了2024年11月4日从科学网核心合集（WoSCC）检索到的所有文献记录。检索词如下：“Stereo - electroencephalography”或“Stereo electroencephalography”或“Stereo - EEG”或“Stereo EEG”或“SEEG”。纳入的文献类型包括研究论文和综述。为进行分析，使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和R包“bibliometrix”对SEEG领域的各个方面进行分析，包括作者、机构、国家和地区以及研究热点。
我们共回顾了2002年至2023年的1383条非重复文献记录，其中包括1241篇研究论文、116篇综述文章和26封信函。观察年度发表趋势，自2002年以来总体呈上升趋势。该领域最具影响力的期刊是 。其他具有相当影响力的期刊包括 、 、 、 和 。最具影响力的前5位学者是Bartolomei F、Tassi L、Nobili L、Russo GL和Mc Gonigal A。至于国家和地区分析，法国起步较早，在该领域占据领先地位，而中国和美国自2020年以来也成为了焦点。对SEEG的研究已从最初用于癫痫病灶定位和热凝治疗扩展，还被用作促进癫痫发作实时预测以及探索脑网络连接的媒介。
作为一种收集颅内脑电信号的微创工具，SEEG继续展现出巨大的发展和应用潜力。电极材料和机器人辅助立体定向技术的进步，使SEEG能够同时对多个脑区进行采样，从深部脑结构获取电信号。这些优势显著提高了癫痫病灶定位在诊断和治疗中的精度，克服了硬膜下电极的局限性。通过文献计量分析，本文追溯了SEEG的发展轨迹并确定了关键技术里程碑，从而为学术研究方向提供参考。
