The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is found near the front of the

brain and wraps around the head of the corpus callosum. Seizures

arising from the cingulate gyrus can be difficult to diagnose and

treat due to their deep and medial location. To improve the

outcome of the epilepsy surgery in cingulate epilepsy surgery, it is

important that we understand cingulate cortex and its epilepsy.

Describe common clinical seizure semiologies of the cingulate?

Explain how this seizure type is classified? Discuss the role of

non-invasive investigations in non-lesional cases. Include a

discussion on the localisation of ictal EEG Explain why SEEG

technique is favourable to explore the cingulate cortex compared

to other invasive techniques. Compare and contrast subdural grid

and SEEG technique? Describe challenges and pitfalls of

diagnosis and treatment of medically refractory cingulate seizures.
