Fluoroscopically guided placement of sphenoidal electrodes for the assessment of epileptiform activity in the mesial-basal-temporal lobes offers distinct advantages over standard techniques, such as more precision in placement, reduced likelihood of facial pain, and fewer complications (vessel perforation or nerve injury). We describe our instrumentation, technique, and results in over 40 patients.
