ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is a syndrome that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Despite multiple pharmacological treatment, 30% do not respond and will be candidates for surgical management. Anesthetic management for this type of surgery is a challenge for anesthesiologists whose role is decisive for the success of surgery that seeks to resect the greatest amount of epileptogenic tissue with the greatest preservation of functional tissue for the patient’s daily life; mapping is crucial and is performed with an electrocorticographic mesh to determine focus and areas of spread, then determine if these areas are involved with limb movement, fine movements, language, abstraction or memory, the anesthetics used can usually affect monitoring, reducing the effectiveness of the procedure, making it difficult to locate the focus. The objective of this review is to evince the most important aspects of epilepsy focused on anesthetic management.
