About

Louise Carstam is a leading clinical researcher in epilepsy surgery, with a focused expertise in stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy. Her work centers on advancing the precision and safety of frameless SEEG implantation techniques, a critical area for improving outcomes in patients with refractory seizures. Carstam’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that optimized frameless navigation can achieve precision and complication rates comparable to traditional frame-based or robotic stereotactic methods, as evidenced by her most-cited 2025 study. This research provides a practical, accessible alternative for epilepsy centers, reducing reliance on expensive dedicated robots while maintaining high standards of accuracy. With over 1 citation already, her work is gaining traction in the neurosurgical community. Carstam’s achievements include refining stepwise implantation protocols that minimize hemorrhagic and infectious complications, directly benefiting patient safety. Her findings are particularly valuable for researchers and clinicians seeking cost-effective, scalable solutions for invasive epilepsy monitoring. By systematically validating frameless SEEG, Carstam is helping to democratize advanced epilepsy surgery techniques, making them more widely available. Her ongoing research continues to shape best practices in stereotactic neurosurgery, positioning her as a rising authority in the field.
