[[Magnetic resonance image-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy for epilepsy]].

[[Magnetic Resonance Imaging]] guided [[Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy]] is a promising [[drug-resistant epilepsy treatment]] (DRE) and an alternative to open surgery. However, the relationship between clinical and radiological factors and postoperative outcomes is unclear.
MRIgLITT is a safe, minimally invasive alternative for [[epilepsy surgery]], offering quicker recovery and showing better performance preserving [[cognitive function]]. It is particularly effective for deep or complex [[epileptic focus]] and patients who might refuse open surgery
