Abstract |
Both interictal and ictal Tc-99m-HMPAO brain SPECT were
performed in 22 patients with medically intractable
epilepsy. Localization of epileptic foci in our
patients was made by combined results of EEG and other
tests, including Wada test, magnetic resonance imaging,
and neuropsy- chometric test. Among them, ictal Tc-99m-
HMPAO SPECT, localized epilptic foci in 20 of 22
patients and provided evidence of epileptic focus in 12
patients by demonstrating maximally increased regional
cerebral perfusion (rCP) in epileptic foci during the
ictal study with decreased rCP in interictal study.
Ictal Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT Was particularly useful for
investigating epileptic foci, and when correlated with
simultaneously recorded ictal EEG, provided further
insight for localizing epileptic foci. Conclusively,
Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT is a useful, noninvasive method of
localizing epileptic activity which may be particularly
important for presurgical investigations, especially in
those patients without large morphological lesions. |
