Comparison of[18F]FDG-PET, [99mTc]-HMPAO-SPECT, and [123I]-iomazenil-SPECT in localising the epileptogenic cortex

Abstract: Methods-Eighteen epileptic patients were studied with FDG-PET and iomazenil-SPECT. HMPAO-SPECT was performed in 11 of these 18 patients. Two references for localisation was used-ictal subdural EEG recordings (S-EEG) and the operated region. Results-Fifteen of 18 patients had localising findings in S-EEG. FDG-PET findings were in accordance with the references in 13 patients and iomazenil-SPECT in nine patients. HMPAO-SPECT visualised the focus less accurately than the two other methods. In three patients S-EEG… Show more

“…presenting with normal MRI findings [20,21,22,23]. Whereas some authors have documented high accuracy of IMZ SPET for the precise presurgical localization of epileptogenic foci in patients who are considered candidates for temporal lobectomy [24,25], few have compared IMZ SPET and FMZ PET [21].…”

“…Nevertheless, it is important to investigate whether this subgroup of patients with epilepsy could also benefit from additional noninvasive methods, reducing the need for invasive EEG. However, before our study, only a few reports existed about the value of functional imaging or comparison of new noninvasive presurgical methods in these types of patients (11,4045). Theodore et al (45) showed that the presence of temporal hypometabolism on FDG-PET predicts successful temporal lobectomy and can reduce the number of patients who require intracranial EEG monitoring even in this patient group.…”

“…No período ictal, ocorre aumento do fluxo sanguíneo na região do foco epileptogênico, com sensibilidade em torno de 90 a 100% 2,4,6,[7][8][9][10][11] . Já nos períodos pós-ictal e interictal, ocorre redução do fluxo ou hipoperfusão, com sensibilidades variando de 70 a 80% e 50 a 70%, respectivamente 3,6,12,13 . Algumas vezes, nos estudos pós-ictais precoces (com injeção do radiofármaco de um até cinco minutos após o término da crise) ocorre o chamado "desvio pós-crítico" (post-ictal switch), que consiste na combinação de hipoperfusão medial com hiperperfusão lateral, e constitui achado confiável na lateralização do foco 3,6,12,13 .…”

Estudos sugerem a ocorrência de padrões típicos e atípicos de perfusão evidenciados pelo SPECT, mesmo ictal, que também podem contribuir para a lateralização do foco epileptogênico 14 .…”
