Magnetic resonance image-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical resection for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Seizures arising outside of the temporal lobe can be difficult to treat due to the heterogeneity of anatomical locations and underlying pathologies. The effectiveness of LITT ablations for extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) is not well established.
