Update: chronic sphenoidal electrodes.
A technical modification in the type of material used in the chronic sphenoidal electrode previously described (Ives and Gloor 1977) has further improved their clinical use and benefit of the EEG work-up of epileptic patients. This procedure has become a routine investigation for all patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy at the Montreal Neurological Hospital.
