Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Epileptogenic Lesions in TSC.
Investigators from University of California Los Angeles, studied whether epileptogenic tubers in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) can be identified by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging tractography to visualize the relationship of the optic radiation to epileptogenic lesions prior to neurosurgery
PURPOSE About one-third of patients with epilepsy are refractory to medical treatment and may be amenable to surgery. However, in patients with lesions on or near the presumed course of the optic radiation, the potential benefits of resection must be balanced against the risk of a visual field deficit. This study demonstrates the utility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography in delinea...
متن کاملEvaluation of White Matter Tracts in Autistic Individuals: A Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies
Introduction: Many cognitive and social deficits in autism are caused by abnormal functional connections between brain networks, which are manifested by impaired integrity of white matter tracts. White matter tracts are like the "highways" of the brain, which allow fast and efficient communication in different areas of the brain. The purpose of this article is to review the results of autism st...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging assessment of the epileptogenic zone in children with localization-related epilepsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with MR imaging-negative epilepsy could have subtle FCD. Our aim was to determine if structural changes could be identified by using DTI in children with intractable epilepsy, from MR imaging-visible FCD and MR imaging-negative localization-related epilepsy, that were concordant with the epileptogenic zone as defined by using the MEG dipole cluster. MATERIALS A...
متن کاملTuber or Not Tuber: The Question of Epileptogenic Lesions in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC).
Commentary In any form of epilepsy associated with distinct anatomical le-sions within the brain, questions arise as to whether the lesional tissue alone is epileptogenic, whether perilesional cortex is also epileptogenic, or whether even more remote cortical regions that appear structurally normal may serve as independent epileptic foci. In disorders associated with multiple distinct lesions, ...
