Intracranial EEG findings in patients with lesional lateral temporal lobe epilepsy.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:Intracranial EEG in patients with lesional lateral temporal lobe epilepsy is rarely reported. Therefore, the number of patients with seizures arising independently from ipsilateral mesial structures or contralateral hemisphere has not been clarified. We analyzed the intracranial EEG of cases with localized lesion in the lateral temporal cortex. METHODS:We studied 15 patients who satisfied the following criteria: (1) MRI depicted a lesion less than 4cm in diameter located lateral to the collateral sulcus and at least 3cm posterior to the temporal pole; (2) intracranial EEG with electrodes placed on bilateral temporal lobes captured at least one complex partial seizure; and (3) postoperative follow-up period of 2 years or longer. The mean age of seizure onset was 16.6 years (range, 11-25) and that at surgery was 26.7 years (range, 16-36). RESULTS:A total of 147 complex partial seizures, 51 simple partial seizures, 16 secondarily generalized seizures, and over 80 subclinical seizures were recorded. On the lesional side, many clinical seizures were recorded from the lateral cortex. Independent of the lateral temporal onset seizures, ictal discharges originating from the mesial temporal structures were recorded in 7 of 15 patients (47%). Moreover, onset of ictal discharges from the contralateral temporal lobe was recorded in 7 of 15 patients (47%). Interictal spikes from ipsilateral mesial structures were recorded in all patients. The presence of ipsilateral mesial onset seizures was not associated with hippocampal neuron losses. CONCLUSION:Intracranial EEG analysis revealed that approximately one-half of the patients with structural lesions in the lateral cortex showed independent epileptogenic areas in ipsilateral mesial structures. Although ictal discharges originating from the contralateral temporal lobe were recorded in a half of these patients, this finding does not constitute a contraindication of resective surgery. Interictal spike is not an indicator of whether mesial structures should be resected.
