Intracranial EEG in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Intracranial EEG monitoring before epilepsy surgery, while becoming less commonly performed in patients with unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, is still widely used when bilateral independent temporal lobe seizures are suspected or when extratemporal foci cannot be ruled out by noninvasive means. Additionally, many epilepsy centers are reporting excellent surgical outcome in patients with neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy, when resections are guided by intracranial EEG studies. This article reviews the indications, technical aspects, risks, and interpretation of intracranial EEG in patients with temporal lobe seizures. It also considers intracranial EEG features predictive of surgical outcome.

Neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy: intracranial EEG features and surgical outcome.

Patients with neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy (NTLE) may have less favorable outcome with anterior temporal lobectomy than those with mesial temporal foci. The authors analyzed ictal intracranial electroencephalograms (EEGs) in patients with NTLE to identify features that predict surgical outcome. The following intracranial ictal EEG features in 31 consecutive medically intractable NTLE patients were studied: Frequency (i.e., low-voltage fast [>20 Hz], recruiting ictal-onset spikes, ictal-onset rhythms less than 5 Hz, ictal-onset rhythms with repetitive sharp waves between 5 and 20 Hz); extent of ictal onset (focal, sublobar, and lobar); localization within the temporal lobe (anterior, posterior, or regional); and the time to seizure spread outside the temporal lobe (rapid, intermediate, and slow). The average follow-up period was 36.7 months (range, 18 to 60 months). Findings between two outcome groups were compared: class I group (seizure-free) and class II to IV group (persistent seizures). Twenty-one (66.7%) of 31 patients with NTLE were seizure-free. Intracranial EEG features which were significantly associated with seizure-free outcome were focal or sublobar onset, anterior temporal onset, and slow propagation time (P < 0.05). There was a trend for patients with ictal onset morphologies of slow ictal-onset rhythm and repetitive sharp waves to be seizure-free (P = 0.07). Intracranial EEG is helpful in predicting surgical outcome in NTLE patients.

The localizing value of ictal EEG in focal epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the lateralization and localization of ictal EEG in focal epilepsy. METHODS: A total of 486 ictal EEG of 72 patients with focal epilepsy arising from the mesial temporal, neocortical temporal, mesial frontal, dorsolateral frontal, parietal, and occipital regions were analyzed. RESULTS: Surface ictal EEG was adequately localized in 72% of cases, more often in temporal than extratemporal epilepsy. Localized ictal onsets were seen in 57% of seizures and were most common in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), lateral frontal lobe epilepsy (LFLE), and parietal lobe epilepsy, whereas lateralized onsets predominated in neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy and generalized onsets in mesial frontal lobe epilepsy (MFLE) and occipital lobe epilepsy. Approximately two-thirds of seizures were localized, 22% generalized, 4% lateralized, and 6% mislocalized/lateralized. False localization/lateralization occurred in 28% of occipital and 16% of parietal seizures. Rhythmic temporal theta at ictal onset was seen exclusively in temporal lobe seizures, whereas localized repetitive epileptiform activity was highly predictive of LFLE. Seizures arising from the lateral convexity and mesial regions were differentiated by a high incidence of repetitive epileptiform activity at ictal onset in the former and rhythmic theta activity in the latter. CONCLUSIONS: With the exception of mesial frontal lobe epilepsy, ictal recordings are very useful in the localization/lateralization of focal seizures. Some patterns are highly accurate in localizing the epileptogenic lobe. One limitation of ictal EEG is the potential for false localization/lateralization in occipital and parietal lobe epilepsies.     

Localization of Temporal Lobe Foci by Ictal EEG Patterns

Identifying patients whose complex partial seizures originate in temporal neocortex rather than in hippocampus is important because such patients have less favorable outcomes with standard anteromesial temporal resections. We reviewed scalp-recorded ictal EEGs of 93 epilepsy surgery candidates who either underwent intracranial EEG monitoring (n= 58) or who were referred directly for temporal lobectomy (n= 35). We defined seven patterns of early seizure discharges, grouped patients according to their seizure pattern, and correlated these with the site of seizure onset determined by intracranial EEG. Categorization by seizure pattern was also compared with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) testing. An initial, regular 5- to 9-Hz inferotemporal rhythm (type 1A) was most specific for hippocampal-onset seizures. Less commonly, a similar vertex/parasagittal positive rhythm (type 1B) or a combination of types 1B and 1A rhythms (type 1C) was recorded. Seizures originating in temporal neocortex were most often associated with irregular, polymorphic, 2- to 5-Hz lateralized activity (type 2A). This pattern was commonly followed by a type 1A theta rhythm (type 2B) or was preceded by repetitive, sometimes periodic, sharp waves (type 2C). Seizures without a clear lateralized EEG discharge (type 3) were most commonly of temporal neocortical origin. These associations between type of seizure pattern and probable site of cerebral origin were statistically significant. MRI and Wada testing did not have as much specificity as ictal patterns in differentiating among seizure origins. We conclude that the initial pattern of ictal discharge on scalp EEG can assist in distinguishing seizures of temporal neocortical onset from those of hippocampal onset. This information can be used to identify patients for invasive monitoring.

Musicogenic seizures can arise from multiple temporal lobe foci: intracranial EEG analyses of three patients

PURPOSE: To determine the ictal-onset zone of musicogenic seizures by using intracranial EEG monitoring. METHODS: Musicogenic seizures in three patients with medically intractable musicogenic epilepsy were first localized by using noninvasive methods including, in one patient, ictal magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). The ictal-onset zones in these patients were then further localized using by intracranial EEG monitoring, and the outcomes of the two patients who underwent epilepsy surgery were determined. RESULTS: Patient 1's musicogenic seizures localized to the right lateral temporal lobe, patient 2's originated in the right mesial temporal lobe, and patient 3's arose independently from both mesial temporal lobes. Patients 1 and 2 underwent resective epilepsy surgery and are seizure free (Engel class I). CONCLUSIONS: Musicogenic epilepsy is a heterogeneous syndrome with seizures that can arise from multiple temporal lobe foci. Patients with medically intractable musicogenic epilepsy and with unilateral ictal onset zones may be considered candidates for resective epilepsy surgery.
