Popis: We started to record cerebral electrical activity from the guide wire introduced into the cerebral vessels during angiography in the patients with epilepsy in 1993, as one of the multimodalities for detecting epileptic foci. It was effective in detecting the epileptogenic activity especially from deep structures of the brain, and on a whole, it was contributory to 87% of all the tracings. However, it was not fruitful in five cases (13%), all of which had a lesion in the convexity. We have experienced complications in two cases, both of which were treated leaving no sequela.
