Sequential Semiology of Seizures and Brain Perfusion Patterns in Patients with Drug-Resistant Focal Epilepsies: A Perspective from Neural Networks
Ictal semiology and brain single-photon emission computed tomography have been performed in approaching the epileptogenic zone in drug-resistant focal epilepsies. The authors aim to describe the brain structures involved in the ictal and interictal epileptogenic network from sequential semiology and...

description | Ictal semiology and brain single-photon emission computed tomography have been performed in approaching the epileptogenic zone in drug-resistant focal epilepsies. The authors aim to describe the brain structures involved in the ictal and interictal epileptogenic network from sequential semiology and brain perfusion quantitative patterns analysis. A sequential representation of seizures was performed (n = 15). A two-level analysis (individual and global) was carried out for the analysis of brain perfusion quantification and estimating network structures from the perfusion indexes. Most of the subjects started with focal seizures without impaired consciousness, followed by staring, automatisms, language impairments and evolution to a bilateral tonic-clonic seizure (temporal lobe and posterior quadrant epilepsy). Frontal lobe epilepsy seizures continued with upper limb clonus and evolution to bilateral tonic-clonic. The perfusion index of the epileptogenic zone ranged between 0.439–1.362 (mesial and lateral structures), 0.826–1.266 in dorsolateral frontal structures and 0.678–1.507 in the occipital gyrus. The interictal epileptogenic network proposed involved the brainstem and other subcortical structures. For the ictal state, it included the rectus gyrus, putamen and cuneus. The proposed methodology provides information about the brain structures in the neural networks in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsies. |
