Postictal switch in blood flow distribution and temporal lobe seizures.
The ictal increase of regional cerebral blood flow has yet to be fully utilised in the investigation of focal seizures. Although single photon emission tomography (SPECT) is being increasingly used in the localisation of epileptic foci, the evolution and time courses of the peri-ictal perfusion changes have yet to be clarified. We performed serial SPECT studies in the interictal, ictal and imme...
متن کاملThe relative localizing value of interictal and immediate postictal SPECT in seizures of temporal lobe origin.
UNLABELLED Although interictal hypoperfusion and ictal hyperperfusion are established localizing findings in partial epilepsy, their relative value is disputed. After a meta analysis of several published articles on SPECT brain imaging in patients with epilepsy (with extractable data on at least 6 patients per article), institutions using SPECT for evaluation of epilepsy have been encouraged to...
متن کاملPostictal behaviour in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Postictal phenomena such as nose-wiping, coughing and hypersalivation are believed to reflect a purposeful reaction to hypersecretion after regaining consciousness following a complex partial seizure, and are very common in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, particularly in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Nose-wiping is usually performed with the hand ipsilateral to the side of seizure onset....
متن کاملIctal regional cerebral blood flow in frontal lobe seizures
99mTC (single photon emission computed tomography) (HMPAO SPECT) was carried out during 16 frontal-lobe seizures in 15 patients. Focal changes in regional cerebral blood flow were seen during all seizures. In 9 of 16 seizures SPECT showed hyperperfusion localized to one frontal lobe. In 1 of 16 seizures ictal hypoperfusion was seen in one frontal lobe. In 2 of 16 seizures there was hyperperfusi...
متن کاملTemporal Lobe Epilepsy and Grand Mal Seizures
1. Is there an association between febrile seizure and hippocampal damage independent of epilepsy? Can simple febrile seizure causes hippocampal abnormalities? Are there any hippocampal abnormalities in healthy patients 15-20 years after a simple febrile seizure ........ 12 2. What clinical/neuroimaging features can be differentiated between TLE patients who have regular SGTCS and those who do ...
