摘要:
Purpose: To perform a quantitative MRI and retrospective electrophysiological study to investigate whether persistent post-surgical seizures may be due to brain structural and functional abnormalities in temporal lobe cortex beyond the margins of resection and/or bilateral abnormalities in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Methods: In 22 patients with left TLE and histopathological evidence of hippocampal sclerosis sis, we compared pre-surgical brain morphology between patients surgically remedied (Engel I) and patients with persistent post-surgical seizures (PPS, Engel's II-IV) using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Routine pre-surgical EEG and invasive and non-invasive telemetry investigations were additionally compared between patient groups. Results: Results indicated widespread structural and functional abnormalities in patients with PPS relative to surgically remedied patients. In particular, patients with PPS had significantly reduced volume of the ipsilateral posterior media[ temporal lobe and contralateral medial. temporal lobe relative to surgically remedied patients. Furthermore, successful surgery was associated with clear anterior (89%) and unilateral (100%) temporal lobe EEG abnormalities, whilst PPS were associated with widespread ipsilateral (91%) and bilateral (82%) temporal lobe abnormalities. Discussion: We suggest that these preliminary data support the hypothesis that PPS after temporal lobe surgery are due to functionally connected epileptogenic cortex remaining in the ipsilateral posterior temporal lobe and/or in temporal lobe contralateral to resection.
