This study provides a detailed cognitive evaluation of two patients, revealing a likely disruption in the visual dorsal stream, with particular involvement of the ventral attention network (VAN). Despite normal overall intellectual functioning, both patients exhibited significant deficits in Processing Speed Index and inhibitory control, indicating selective executive dysfunction. Coupled with EEG anomalies predominantly in the right frontal lobe, these findings suggest right hemisphere involvement, potentially along the VAN pathway.

We conducted the systematic review and meta-analysis, and reported its results according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. We searched electronic databases (Scopus, PUBMED, Web of Science, and EMBASE) using relevant keywords related to temporal, frontal and sublobar structures, semiology, and electroencephalography/stereoelectroencephalography exploration. The risk of bias was evaluated using the QUADAS2. We included articles in English, reporting the seizure semiology of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy with temporal-frontal involvement and patients with frontal lobe epilepsy and fronto-temporal network involved. We performed hierarchical cluster analysis to determine signs and symptoms associated with the temporo-frontal epileptogenic network for all patients and for each subgroup (frontal/temporal seizure onset). Fisher exact test was performed to evaluate the difference in seizure freedom and clinical sign/symptom occurrence in patients that underwent unilobar versus bilobar resection. Meta-analysis on the prevalence of temporo-frontal/fronto-temporal involvement applying a random-effect model was used. We included 40 articles and we extracted data from 109 patients. The meta-analysis showed the total prevalence of temporo-frontal/fronto-temporal network involvement was 19.75%, CI 12.02-27.47, high heterogeneity (82.71%). For the whole group and subgroups, the main cluster of clinical manifestations is emotional, autonomic, cognitive, grimace, hyperkinetic (association coefficient higher than .6). Elementary motor semiology is significantly associated with multilobar resection (p = .022 whole group and p = .0012 fronto-temporal subgroup). Fifty-eight patients were seizure-free after surgery. There was no significant difference between seizure freedom in uni versus bilobar resections (p = .28). Seizures involving temporo-frontal/fronto-temporal network usually manifest with a cluster of signs and symptoms: emotional, autonomic, grimace, cognitive and hyperkinetic behavior. Based on semiology, one cannot distinguish between fronto-temporal and temporo-frontal cases at individual patient level. In those patients undergoing a surgical procedure, elementary motor seizure semiology is significantly associated with multilobar resection.</p>","PeriodicalId":50508,"journal":{"name":"Epileptic Disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142900034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EDSelFEC in the vascular group were significantly correlated with MRI changes showing white matter damage in addition to cortical damage (<i>p</i> =.02). 82.1% of EDSelFEC were located multifocal versus 4.8% multifocality in EDs other than EDSelFEC.
