Possible relationship between vagus nerve stimulation and ictal discharges revealed by long-term electroencephalographic and electrocorticographic monitoring in a non-responsive patient

Possible relationship between vagus nerve stimulation and ictal discharges revealed by long-term electroencephalographic and electrocorticographic monitoring in a non-responsive patient

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a well-known palliative therapy for refractory epilepsy. However, some non-responsive patients experience persistent epileptic seizures after VNS. Aiming to identify the factors affecting response to VNS, we retrospectively analyzed the temporal relations...
