Magnetoencephalography in Preoperative Epileptic Foci Localization: Enlightenment from Cognitive Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over 30% epileptic patients are refractory to medication, who are amenable to neurosurgical treatment. Non-invasive brain imaging technologies including video-electroencephalogram (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are widely used in presurgical assessment of epileptic patients. This review mainly discussed the current development of clinical MEG imaging as a diagnose approach, and its correlations with the golden standard intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG). More importantly, this review discussed the possible applications of functional networks in preoperative epileptic foci localization in future studies.

Localization of epileptic foci in Children with childhood absence epilepsy by magnetoencephalography combined with synthetic aperture magnetometry☆
This present study was aimed to investigate the localizable diagnostic value of magnetoencephalography (MEG) combined with synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM) in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). Thirteen CAE patients underwent MEG detection at resting state and after hyperventilation, and then the epileptic foci were located by SAM. In the thirteen CAE patients, epileptic foci were found in ...

BACKGROUND To investigate the effect that dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has on surgical decision making relative to video-electroencephalography (VEEG) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), and if the differences in these variables translates to differences in surgical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 166 children with epilepsy ...
متن کاملInterpretation of MEG spike source localization in frontal lobe epilepsy with multiple independent spike foci
Magnetic source imaging using a whole-head MEG system provides a more accurate localization of epileptic focus than other routinely used noninvasive methods such as scalp video EEG and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [1-3]. However, MEG source localization, as estimated by the single dipole and spherical model, may not fully describe an epileptic region that includes extensive or multiple epil...
متن کاملPeriventricular nodular heterotopia: A challenge for epilepsy surgery
Pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies due to periventricular nodular heterotopia are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge because of the need of invasive presurgical diagnostics and the selection of an optimal surgical approach. Invasive investigations in previous studies showed that focal epileptic activity can be correlated predominantly either with one of the nodular heterotopia or with neoco...
متن کاملMEG source localization in extratemporal epilepsy
Although patients suffering from medically intractable epilepsies originating from other than the temporal lobe are less numerbale than those with temporal lobe epilepsies (TLE), localization of the epileptogenic region in extratemporal epilepsies (ETE) is considered as much more demanding than in TLE [1, 2]. Even if seizure semiology may hint at the origin in specific parts of the brain [3-7],...
