Indo-Egyptian stereotactic epilepsy surgery week

Cairo, Egypt

24 - 29 November 2025

Intended learning outcomes: 

  • Recognise when focal epilepsy needs SEEG rather than direct resection.
  • Fuse MRI, PET, DTI & VEEG into a testable surgical hypothesis.
  • Design and implant safe, information-rich SEEG trajectories.
  • Interpret inter-ictal / ictal depth recordings, perform stimulation mapping and define the epileptogenic zone.
  • Apply RF ablation for HH and focal lesions; understand when DBS is the optimal alternative.
  • Manage peri-operative seizure emergencies, DI and raised ICP in the Neuro-ICU.
