Abstract |
Purpose: We investigated the difference of glucose
metabolism of medial and lateral temporal lobes of
patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) utilizing
quantitative comparison of regional metabolic
activities using asymmetric index. Materials and
Methods: We studied 19 pathologically proven mesial TLE
and 25 lateral TLE patients. Lateral TLE patients were
either normal on magnetic resonance imaging
(cryptogenic: n=14) or had structural lesions
(lesional: n=11). Asymmetric index (ASI) was calculated
as [(ipsilateral-contralateral)/(ipsilateral+
contralateral)]¡¿200. Results: ASI of medial and
lateral lobes of mesial TLE was decreased (-16.4¡¾8.3
and -12.7¡¾5.5, respectively). In cryptogenic lateral
TLE, ASI of lateral temporal lobe was decreased
(-11.8¡¾4.7), whereas that of medial temporal lobe
was not decreased (-4.6¡¾6.3). ASI of medial lobe of
lesional lateral TLE was -7.3¡¾9.1, which was
significantly different from that of mesial TLE
(p<0.05). Patients with lesional lateral TLE had
evident metabolic defects or decrease (ASI:
-22¡¾10.5) in lateral temporal lobe. While we could
not find the difference of metabolic activity in
lateral temporal lobes between cryptogenic lateral TLE
and mesial TLE patients, the difference of metabolic
activity was significant in medial temporal lobes which
was revealed by ASI quantitation. Conclusion:
Asymmetric decrease of metabolic activity in both
medial and lateral temporal lobes indicates medial
temporal epilepsy. Symmetry of metabolic activity in
medial temporal lobe combined with asymmetry of that in
lateral temporal lobe may give hints that the
epileptogenic zone is lateral. |
