Neuromodulation strategies that target the epileptogenic network are options for treating focal drug-resistant epilepsy. These brain stimulation approaches include responsive neurostimulation and more recently, chronic subthreshold stimulation. Long-term seizure freedom with neuromodulation is uncommon. Seizure control typically requires ongoing froms of electrical stimulation. Here, we present the case of a patient implanted with three cortical electrodes targeting the inferior frontal lobe, insula, and one subcortical electrode targeting the ipsilateral anterior thalamic nucleus. This patient received continuous subthreshold electrical stimulation to the frontal electrodes for 7 months, at which time stimulation was inadvertently stopped. He has now been free of seizures for 42 months. This case suggests the possibility that neuromodulation can alter epileptogenic networks and lead to seizure freedom without ongoing electrical stimulation. (C) 2020 The Authors.
