Seizure-induced transient hippocampal abnormalities on MR: correlation with positron emission tomography and electroencephalography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report transient focal abnormalities on MR in a patient having frequent electrographic seizures that were not obvious clinically. Marked mass effect (confirmed with volumetric studies) and abnormal T2 signal intensity in the right hippocampal region correlated with electroencephalographic ictal activity and with increased positron-emitting radiotracer uptake in the medial temporal lobe. The follow-up MR 2 months later, after electroencephalography findings normalized, revealed no hippocampal abnormalities.

Microscopic cortical dysplasia in infantile spasms: evolution of white matter abnormalities.
PURPOSE To determine whether microscopic cortical lamination defects in patients with infantile spasms, not initially identifiable on MR, may be inferred from evolving changes in the adjacent white matter. METHODS Three infants between 3 and 6 months of age presented with infantile spasms. Based on negative metabolic assessment and normal MR findings, they were classified as cryptogenic. Desp...
متن کاملLimbic encephalitis associated with anti-voltage-gated potassium channel complex antibodies as a cause of adult-onset mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
Recently, some reports have indicated that limbic encephalitis associated with anti-voltage-gated potassium channel complex antibodies (VGKC-Ab) is a cause of adult-onset mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). We report a 53-year-old woman who had her first epileptic seizure at the age of 50 years old. Examination by 3-Tesla brain MRI revealed left hippocampal high signal intensity and swelling ...

PURPOSE To compare the ability of qualitative fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (QPET), qualitative MR imaging (QMR), and quantitative MR imaging with hippocampal formation volumetric assessment (HV MR) to lateralize the seizure focus in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. METHODS Sixteen consecutive patients undergoing presurgical examination for temporal lobe seizures had ...

متن کاملPositron emission tomography in presurgical localization of epileptic foci.
The success of cortical resection for intractable epilepsy of neocortical origin is highly dependent on the accurate presurgical delineation of the regions responsible for generating seizures. In addition to EEG and structural imaging studies, functional neuroimaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) can assist lateralization and localization of epileptogenic cortical areas. In the pre...
