Interictal cerebral glucose metabolism in partial epilepsy and its relation to EEG changes

Engel, Jerome, Kuhl, David E., Phelps, Michael E., Mazziotta, John C.·1982·Annals of Neurology

Abstract

Interictal positron computed tomography (PCT) with 18 F‐fluorodeoxyglucose was performed on 50 patients with partial seizure disorders. Electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring was carried out during the metabolic studies using scalp and sphenoidal electrodes in 33 patients and stereotaxically implanted depth electrodes in 17. Four patients in this series had focal abnormalities on x‐ray computed tomographic scans, but these were at the site of the presumed epileptogenic lesion in only 2. One or more discrete zones of hypometabolism were identified in 35 patients, and only 1 patient appeared to show focal interictal hypermetabolism. No quantitative relationship could be demonstrated between the degree of focal hypometabolism and either the frequency of intericatal EEG spikes or the presence of focal nonepileptifor EEg changes. It was concluded that metabolic and electrophysiological techniques measure different aspects of cerebral dysfunction in seizures diorders. Although interictal PCT in patients with partial epilepsy usually demonstrates zones of hypometabolism, this finding, perŕse, does not reveal the epileptic nature of the abnormality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
