Invasive explorations in children younger than 3Â years

Invasive exploration is feasible, well tolerated and carries a low morbidity in children under 3 years of age. At this age, it is indicated for drug-resistant lesional epilepsy associated with developmental delay. It permits delineating the lesion, which is not possible with MRI. The choice of the technique is in part age-dependent. The discussion of its indication arises in the same way as in the older child.
