Spectroscopic metabolic abnormalities in mTLE with and without MRI evidence for mesial temporal sclerosis using hippocampal short-TE MRSI.
PURPOSE Long echo time (TE) spectroscopy reliably identifies the epileptogenic hippocampus in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Short-TE spectroscopy gives additional metabolic information but may have more artifacts. The aim of this study was to test (a) lateralization of the seizure focus by short-TE spectroscopy, and (b) value of myoinositol (MI) in the identification of the epileptogenic hippo...
متن کاملAlterations in Hippocampal Functional Connectivity in patients with Mesial Temporal Sclerosis
Introduction: Medial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is a form of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). It is typically characterized by structural alterations in hippocampus (HC) and related mesial temporal lobe (MTL) network. Resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) is considered an ideal technique in quantifying the dysfunction and maladaptation in MTL network. It is well- dem...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Tinnitus Detection based on Brain Network Analysis of EEG Functional Connectivity
Background: Tinnitus known as a central nervous system disorder is correlated with specific oscillatory activities within auditory and non-auditory brain areas. Several studies in the past few years have revealed that in the most tinnitus cases, the response pattern of neurons in auditory system is changed due to auditory deafferentation, which leads to variation and disruption of the brain net...
متن کاملQuantitative short echo time proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging study of malformations of cortical development causing epilepsy.
In patients with malformations of cortical development (MCD), widespread structural abnormalities of the brain have been demonstrated using volumetric MRI, and associated with poor post-surgical outcome in patients with localization-related epilepsy. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) studies permit the non-invasive measurement of concentrations of a variety of cerebral m...
متن کاملPrevalence of Sleep Disorders and their Effects on Sleep Quality in Epileptic Patients
Introduction: Epilepsy is a complex pervasive neurobehavioral and social condition accompanied by a wide range of comorbid conditions that can adversely affect the quality of life of patients. Sleep complaints are common among patients with epilepsy. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of subjective sleep disturbances and its effects on sleep quality in epileptic patients.
