Abstract
Magnetic resonance guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a new minimally invasive treatment for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) associated epilepsy in children. This video describes a case of a 17-year-old girl with TSC-associated drug resistant epilepsy treated with robotic-assisted MRgLITT. In our case, MRgLITT was safe and effective in simultaneous targeting multiple epileptic tubers in one single procedure, leading to a marked decrease in seizure frequency. MRgLITT could be a promising and more appealing treatment option for children who may need multiple surgeries over their lifetime due to the progressive nature of TSC.
