Abstract
Objective
To describe the ictal scalp EEG patterns of occipital seizures (OS) and their spatiotemporal correlations with intracerebral occipital ictal discharges derived from simultaneous SEEG-EEG recordings.
Methods
Patients with SEEG confirmed OS (14 OS from 8 patients) were selected from an epilepsy surgery center and were monitored 3–10 days using simultaneous scalp EEG and SEEG recordings.
Results
On scalp EEG, the most common onset patterns were background activity suppression (28.6 %) and high amplitude slow wave corresponding to intracerebral DC-shift (28.6 %) and occurred with a median delay of 0 s after intra-cerebral onset. The initial discharge involved occipital electrodes in only 50 % of the seizures (7/14) with additional basal temporal (8/14) or parietal electrodes (5/14). The onset was ipsilateral to the intra-cerebral onset zone in 71.4 % of seizures and bilateral in the remaining (28.6 %). The most common propagation pattern was either unilateral (50 %) or bilateral (50 %) and a rhythmic slow activity (66.7 %). Different OS subtypes display distinct scalp EEG patterns.
Conclusion
Scalp EEG accurately determines intra-cerebral seizure onset time in OS and has good lateralizing value. However, initial scalp modification does not always involves occipital electrodes and the second modification is well lateralizing in only 50 % of seizures.
Significance
This study describes will help clinicians to better identify OS during video EEG and better plan intra-cerebral explorations for epilepsy surgery.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
