Abstract

Background: Patients with generalized epilepsy who had lateralized EEG abnormalities after corpus callosotomy (CC) occasionally undergo subsequent surgeries to control intractable epilepsy.

Objectives: This study evaluated retrospectively the combination of EEG multiscale entropy (MSE) and FDG-PET for identifying lateralization of the epileptogenic zone after CC.

Methods: This study included 14 patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy who underwent curative epilepsy surgery after CC. Interictal scalp EEG and FDG-PET obtained after CC were investigated to determine (1) whether the MSE calculated from the EEG and FDG-PET findings was lateralized to the surgical side, and (2) whether the lateralization was associated with seizure outcomes.

Results: Seizure reduction rate was higher in patients with lateralized findings to the surgical side than those without (MSE: < 0.05, FDG-PET: < 0.05, both: < 0.01). Seizure free rate was higher in patients with lateralized findings in both MSE and FDG-PET than in those without ( < 0.05).

Conclusions: This study demonstrated that patients with lateralization of MSE and FDG-PET to the surgical side had better seizure outcomes. The combination of MSE and conventional FDG-PET may help to select surgical candidates for additional surgery after CC with good postoperative seizure outcomes.
