About

Dalila Fuschillo is a leading figure in the presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a primary focus on advancing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) methodology. Her seminal work, “Stereoelectroencephalography” (2012), which has garnered over 523 citations, provides a comprehensive update on the SEEG technique originally pioneered by Talairach and Bancaud. In this highly influential paper, Fuschillo details critical methodological implementations that have modernized SEEG, enhancing its precision and safety for localizing epileptogenic zones. Beyond this cornerstone contribution, her research spans the optimization of electrode implantation strategies, signal analysis, and the integration of multimodal imaging to improve surgical outcomes. Fuschillo’s work has been instrumental in the global resurgence of SEEG, making it a cornerstone of contemporary epilepsy surgery programs. Her achievements include refining protocols that reduce procedural risks while increasing diagnostic yield, directly impacting the lives of patients with refractory seizures. For students and researchers, Fuschillo exemplifies how rigorous methodological innovation can transform clinical practice, offering a blueprint for translating technical advances into tangible patient benefits.
