Hyperperfusion of ictal seizure focus demonstrated by MR perfusion imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
MR using a susceptibility-weighted sequence and dynamic contrast enhancement with gadolinium demonstrated relative hyperperfusion of the right temporoparietal cortex in a patient in focal status epilepticus. A single-photon emission CT (SPECT) scan also demonstrated hyperperfusion of the right temporoparietal cortex. Perfusion MR, SPECT, and electroencephalogram normalized when the seizures ended.

Ictal cerebral perfusion related to EEG in drug resistant focal epilepsy of childhood.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the EEG changes during seizures in children with drug resistant focal epilepsy who demonstrate hypoperfusion at the "seizure focus" interictally, but no perfusion change during the seizure. METHODS Ictal EEG findings of six children with focal epilepsy who demonstrated hypoperfusion on rCBF SPECT after an interictal injection of (99)Tc(m) HMPAO concordant with the seizu...
متن کاملPerfusion patterns during temporal lobe seizures: relationship to surgical outcome.
We sought to determine whether patterns of ictal hyperfusion demonstrated using [99mTC]HMPAO (hexamethylpropylene amine oxime) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) predict outcome of temporal lobectomy; in particular, whether the more extensive patterns of ictal hyperperfusion are associated with poor outcome. We studied 63 patients who had ictal SPECT studies prior to temporal lo...
متن کاملTransient seizure activity demonstrated by Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT and diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
Cerebral perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used to confirm the localization of the epileptic focus and the evaluation of seizure. Recently, diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) has been recognized for evaluation of seizure activity. We describe a case of transient seizure activity demonstrated by Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT and DWI. This patient was a 61-year-old woman...
متن کاملSPECT perfusion changes during complex partial seizures in patients with hippocampal sclerosis.
Cerebral perfusion changes reliably reflect changes in neuronal activity. Our aim was to obtain new insights into the pathophysiology of complex partial seizures (CPS) in patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) using interictal and ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We studied 24 patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) associated with HS. All had an interic...
متن کاملThe use of SPECT and PET in routine clinical practice in epilepsy.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to give a subjective review of the usefulness of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in clinical practice in epilepsy for 2007. RECENT FINDINGS Both ictal perfusion SPECT and interictal fluorodeoxyglucose PET can provide new information in the presurgical evaluation of intractable partia...
