Abstract
Intracranial EEG is considered when seizures are non-localized during a non-invasive evaluation or when discordant information exists or confirmation of the seizure-onset zone residing in non-eloquent cortex is necessary prior to proceeding to epilepsy surgery. Intracranial EEG is a valuable tool for defining the seizure-onset zone; however, it is a procedure that carries risk and as such should only be used when necessary for localization and definition of the seizure focus.
