About
Andrew Romeo is a leading researcher in the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a specific focus on the limbic thalamus. His major contributions center on pioneering the use of robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) to safely and accurately explore deep brain structures that are critical to seizure propagation. His most cited work, detailing the implantation technique and complications in the first 24 patients, has garnered 61 citations and established a foundational protocol for targeting the limbic thalamus in human focal epilepsy. By demonstrating that this minimally invasive approach is both feasible and low-risk, Romeo has opened new avenues for electrophysiological studies that were previously limited to imaging. His research directly addresses a critical gap in understanding how thalamic involvement influences surgical prognosis. Through his meticulous documentation of safety and accuracy, Romeo has provided the epilepsy surgery community with a reproducible roadmap for integrating thalamic SEEG into clinical practice, ultimately advancing personalized treatment for patients with complex, refractory seizures.
