Stimulation-induced seizures
Stimulation-induced seizures (SISs) are rare but serious events during electrocortical stimulation (ECS) mapping. SISs are most common when mapping the frontal lobe. Greater stimulation current is not associated with the identification of more cortical functional sites during glioma surgery 1).
