BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) is poorly understood. Functional neuroimaging data in various functional neurological disorders increasingly support specific neurobiological dysfunction. However, to date, no studies have been reported of positron emission
We report a five-year-old boy with 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria. The child presented with global developmental delay, severe hypotonia and myoclonic seizures. The urine 4-hydroxybutyric acid was 1038 times that of normal, and other organic acids related to its further metabolism were also increased.
Anterior temporal lobectomy offers a high chance of seizure-free outcome in patients suffering from drug-refractory complex partial seizure (CPS) originating from the temporal lobe. Other than EEG, several functional and morphologic imaging methods are used to define the spatial seizure origin. The
The authors sought to determine whether different responsiveness to seizures induced by aminophylline existed between the genetically epilepsy-prone and normal rats. It was found that the seizure latency was consistently shorter in the genetically epilepsy-prone rats than in normal ones. A different
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relation between a focus of temporal lobe hypometabolism, including comparison between mesial and lateral asymmetry on fluorine-18-labeled-deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) and surgical outcome in patients with uncontrolled
OBJECTIVE
Studies using magnetic resonance imaging have shown that reduced hippocampal volume is associated with a history of febrile seizures, the duration of epilepsy, and the number of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is uncertain whether these factors have the same influence on functional
We studied patients with partial and primary generalized seizures using fluorine-18-labeled 2-fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography. Interictal studies of patients with partial seizures showed regions of focal or lateralized hypometabolism in 15 of 17 patients with unilateral
BACKGROUND
Limbic encephalitis was originally described as a rare clinical neuropathological entity involving seizures and neuropsychological disturbances. In this report, we describe cerebral patterns visualized by positron emission tomography in a patient with limbic encephalitis and
This study reports a comparison of Fluorine-18 deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and O-15 water (H2(15)O) PET with regard to lateralization of the seizure focus in patients with complex partial epilepsy. The analysis of 35 patients who had an anterior temporal lobectomy for
We investigated the relationship between the presence of extratemporal hypometabolism on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) and seizure outcome after temporal lobectomy in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In 47 patients with
To date, there has been no satisfactory explanation for the observation that interictal uptake of the glucose analog [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is consistently reduced in the temporal lobe ipsilateral to the seizure focus in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. We examined the hypothesis that
Focal cortical dysplasia is one of the known neuronal migration disorders and has recently been recognized as a cause of intractable epilepsy. In this study, we assessed the 11C-methionine (MET) uptake in focal cortical dysplasia by PET, and then compared the results with that of
The clinical, biochemical, pathological and neuroradiological findings of a 2-year-old Saudi boy with infantile G(M1) gangliosidosis are reported. The patient had a progressive neurologic deterioration, manifesting with developmental regression, sensorimotor and psychointellectual dysfunction and
OBJECTIVE
Surgical options for medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) include anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH). Optimal criteria for choosing the appropriate surgical approach remain uncertain. This article reports 11 consecutive cases in which
Iodine-123 iomazenil (IMZ) has excellent characteristics for the quantification of central benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) binding with single-photon emission tomography (SPET). In order to evaluate the clinical value of IMZ SPET for presurgical identification of epileptic foci in patients with
