Abstract
This report describes two patients who developed persistent neurologic defi cits during intracranial EEG recording without clear evidence of intracrani al edema or infarction. Both patients had previously received high-dose bra in radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Because of this experience, we stron gly caution the use of intracranial electrodes in patients with similar pro files.
