Abstract

Objectives

To integrate the glucose metabolism measured using [18F]FDG PET/CT and anatomical features measured using MRI to forecast the post-surgical seizure outcomes of intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled 63 patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Z-transform of the patients’ PET images based on comparison with a database of healthy controls, cortical thickness, and quantitative anisotropy (QA) of the diffusion spectrum imaging concordant/non-concordant with cortical resection was adopted to quantify their predictive values for the post-surgical seizure outcomes.

Results

The PET hypometabolism region was concordant with the surgical field in 47 of the 63 patients. Forty-two patients were seizure-free post-surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of PET in predicting seizure freedom were 89.4% and 68.8%, respectively. Complete resection of foci with overlapped PET, cortical thickness, and QA abnormalities resulted in Engel I in 27 patients, which was a good predictor of seizure freedom with an odds ratio (OR) of 19.57 (95% CI 2.38–161.25, p = 0.006). Hypometabolism involved in multiple lobes (OR = 7.18, 95% CI 1.02–50.75, p = 0.048) and foci of hypometabolism with QA/cortical thickness abnormalities outside surgical field (OR = 14.72, 95% CI 2.13–101.56, p = 0.006) were two major predictors of Engel III/IV outcomes. ORs of QA to predict Engel I and seizure recurrence were 14.64 (95% CI 2.90–73.80, p = 0.001) and 12.01 (95% CI 2.91–49.65, p = 0.001), respectively.

Conclusion

Combined PET and structural pattern is helpful to predict the post-surgical seizure outcomes and worse outcomes of Engel III/IV. This might decrease unnecessary surgical injuries to patients who are potentially not amenable to surgery.

Key Points

• A combined metabolic and structural pattern is helpful to predict the post-surgical seizure outcomes.
• Favorable post-surgical seizure outcome was most likely reached in patients whose hypometabolism overlapped with the structural changes.
• Hypometabolism in multiple lobes and QA or cortical thickness abnormalities outside the surgical field were predictors of worse seizure outcomes of Engel III/IV.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Stören weiße Wände und viel Licht die Bildqualitätskontrolle?

Wenn es darum geht, die technische Qualität eines Mammogramms zu beurteilen, könnten graue Wandfarbe und reduzierte Beleuchtung im Bildgebungsraum von Vorteil sein. Darauf deuten zumindest Ergebnisse einer kleinen Studie hin. 

PMBCL mit CMR: Radiatio kann ohne Risiko weggelassen werden

Patienten mit primär mediastinalem B-Zell-Lymphom (PMBCL), die nach der Induktionstherapie eine komplette metabolische Remission (CMR) erreichen und keine konsolidierende Bestrahlung erhalten, müssen offenbar keine Überlebensnachteile fürchten.

Hypoxisch-ischämische Enzephalopathie: Indikatoren für eine ungünstige Prognose

Eine US-amerikanische Studie widmete sich der Identifizierung prognostischer Parameter bei Neugeborenen mit mittelschwerer oder schwerer hypoxisch-ischämischer Enzephalopathie (HIE), die mittels induzierter Hypoxie behandelt wurden. Besonders im 24-Stunden-EEG und der MRT konnten relevante Hinweise gefunden werden.
