Surgery is an effective method for epilepsy. Successful epilepsy surgery is inseparable from the exact location of the epileptogenic focus， especially the lesions close to the functional area. At present， the comprehensive application of multimodality neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques to study the generation， dissemination of epileptic discharge and the location of epileptogenic focus have important implications for the evaluation， treatment and prognosis of epilepsy patients. In this paper， the application and progress of multimodal evaluation techniques in epilepsy surgery are described， and the existing problems are discussed.
