Résumé
Whilst modern awake intraoperative mapping has been widely accepted and implemented in the last decades in neuro-oncology, sparse reports have been published on the safety and efficiency of this approach in epilepsy surgery. This article reports four cases with different locations of epileptogenic zones as examples of possible safe and efficient resections. The results of the resections on seizure control were Engel 1 (no disabling seizures) in all cases and no patient experienced significant neurological deficits. The discussion focuses on aspects of the future of epilepsy surgery in a hodotopical paradigm.

BACKGROUND
Whilst modern awake intraoperative mapping has been widely accepted and implemented in the last decades in neuro-oncology, sparse reports have been published on the safety and efficiency of this approach in epilepsy surgery.
METHOD
This article reports four cases with different locations of epileptogenic zones as examples of possible safe and efficient resections.
RESULT
The results of the resections on seizure control were Engel 1 (no disabling seizures) in all cases and no patient experienced significant neurological deficits.
DISCUSSION
The discussion focuses on aspects of the future of epilepsy surgery in a hodotopical paradigm.
