An ictal epilepsy case monitored by resting-state fMRI.

چکیده
Most resting-state functional MRI studies of epilepsy are conducted in the interictal phase as the ictal phase is not suitable. We report and discuss a 13-year-old female epilepsy patient who had ictal examination. She was diagnosed with simple partial seizure epilepsy and on regular anti-epileptic drugs. There were no significant symptoms after careful treatment. We conclude that analysis of the amplitude of low frequency fluctuations may provide a useful tool in the functional MRI study of epilepsy.

In vivo observation of the ictal events are thought to help understanding the etiology and pathology in both epilepsy and migraine. While simultaneous recording of EEG and fMRI is actively conducted for the former, in some cases, epileptogenic activity is undetectable by EEG. Attempts to detect such abnormal brain activity by using fMRI are underway. Analysis methods for resting-state fMRI can ...
متن کاملComparison of electrophysiologic connectivity with imaging connectivity from DWI and resting state fMRI
BACKGROUND There is tremendous clinical utility for a robust scalar connectivity score between any two arbitrary points in the human brain. For example, one immediate application is patients with pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy, where accurate identification and resection of the true ictal onset zone provides a cure. In practice, however, multiple candidate ictal zones are often identified, li...
متن کاملThe Role of Resting State Networks in Focal Neocortical Seizures
OBJECTIVE The role of resting state functional networks in epilepsy is incompletely understood. While some pathologic diagnoses have been shown to have maintained but altered resting state connectivity, others have implicated resting state connectivity in disease progression. However little is known about how these resting state networks influence the behavior of a focal neocortical seizure. ...
متن کامل[Epilepsy and functional brain networks].
Recent resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) studies have demonstrated that the human brain is composed of several essential large-scale functional brain networks, including the "default-mode network". We analyzed electrocorticogram data from four patients with intractable focal epilepsy and compared the extent of these large-scale functional brain networks with propagation pathways of ictal d...
متن کاملResting-State Functional Connectivity by Independent Component Analysis-Based Markers Corresponds to Areas of Initial Seizure Propagation Established by Prior Modalities from the Hypothalamus
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to evaluate a clinically practical functional connectivity protocol designed to blindly identify the corresponding areas of initial seizure propagation and also to differentiate these areas from remote secondary areas affected by seizure. The patients in this cohort had intractable epilepsy caused by intrahypothalamic hamartoma, which is the location of the...
