متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging in epilepsy: FDG PET and ictal SPECT.
Epileptogenic zones can be localized by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) and ictal single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT). In medial temporal lobe epilepsy, the diagnostic sensitivity of FDG PET or ictal SPECT is excellent, however, the sensitivity of MRI is so high that the incremental sensitivity by FDG PET or ictal SPECT has yet to be proven. When MRI...
متن کاملFDG vs PET/MR for Epilepsy in Children
Researchers from Texas, Arizona, and Ohio performed a prospective study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of PET/MR-acquired FDG brain exams to that of PET/CT with respect to identifying seizure foci in children with localization-related epilepsy. The researchers studied images from 35 patients (median age 11) who had been referred for a diagnosis of localization-related epilepsy; 14 were fema...
متن کاملSPECT Imaging of Epilepsy: An Overview and Comparison with F-18 FDG PET
Epilepsy surgery is highly effective in treating refractory epilepsy, but requires accurate presurgical localization of the epileptogenic focus. Briefly, localization of the region of seizure onset traditionally dependents on seizure semiology, scalp EEG recordings and correlation with anatomical imaging modalities such as MRI. The introduction of noninvasive functional neuroimaging methods, in...
متن کاملAn algorithmic approach to medically intractable epilepsy
Article abstract—Nonpharmacologic options for the treatment of epilepsy include epilepsy surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, and the ketogenic diet. The advantages and limitations of these treatment modalities have been extensively reviewed, but there is no general consensus on when each option should be considered. The authors propose an algorithm based on the type of epilepsy. Generally, nonpha...
