Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted (RA) stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation has been reported to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. In this study the authors aimed to assess the accuracy of RA stereotactic MRI-guided laser fiber placement in children and to identify factors that might increase the risk of misplacement.
