Revisiting the role of magnetoencephalography in epilepsy

Abstract: Magnetoencephalography has been developed to a valuable noninvasive tool in clinical epileptology. The development of approaches which take into account both magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography simultaneously should provide more useful information in the future.

“…MEG has a high temporal resolution (ms), which makes this tool valuable for localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and assessing the spread of epileptic activity. Compared to the electric signals recorded by electroencephalography (EEG), the magnetic signals are minimally distorted, resulting in an improved spatial resolution that can be useful in directing epilepsy surgery resection (Ebersole, 1997;Baumgartner, 2000;Baumgartner and Pataraia, 2006;Pataraia et al, 2002;Knowlton, 2003;Wheless et al, 2004;Wu et al, 2006;Grondin et al, 2006;Ray and Bowyer, 2010). Unlike some pre-surgical procedures, identification of the seizure focus using MEG is not limited by the need for special preparation (e.g., ictal-SPECT) or by the state of recording (e.g., FDG-PET scan).…”

“…Paroxysms have been shown to be located in the depths of Sylvian fissure through dipole modeling (Nakano,et al,1989). This is supported by results of positron emission tomography, single photron emission computed tomography and magnetoencephalography studies (Baumgartner & Pataraira, 2006). MEG and EEG record synchronous postsynaptic currents in thousands of cortical pyramidal cell apical dendrites, with a temporal resolution at the level of the millisecond.…”

“…Im Jahr 2003 erhielt sie in den USA eine Codenummer der "current procedural terminology" (CPT) für Epilepsielokalisation und prächirurgisches "brain mapping". Viele Epilepsiezentren können das MEG allerdings nicht nutzen, da seine Verfügbarkeit nicht zuletzt wegen der hohen Kosten beschränkt ist.Zahlreiche Studien konnten die diagnostische Wertigkeit des MEG belegen [7,9,18,30,31,42,43,46,48,50,52,57,59]. Das MEG kann helfen, bei tuberöser Sklerose epileptogene Tuber zu identifizieren ([26, 27, 64]; .…”
