Fokal EEG Anormalliği Olan Epilepsi Hastalarında Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme ve İnteriktal 99mtc-Hmpao Spect Bulguları Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Elektroensefalografide fokal anormalliği olan 25 epileptik hastada, retrospektif olarak elektroensefalografi bulguları ile manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve interiktal 99mTc-HMPAO single foton emisyon bilgisayarlı tomografi (SPECT) bulguları karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar, interiktal elektroensefalografi bulguları ile, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularından ziyade 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT'in bulgularının daha uyumlu olduğunu gösterdi. Anahtar kelimeler: Epilepsi; Elektroensefalografi; Single Foton Emisyon Komputarize Tomografi; Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme.

Relationship between Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Interictal 99mtc-Hmpao Spect Findings in Epilepsy Patients with Focal EEG Abnormalities

Abstract

We studied the relationship between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and focal electroencephalographic (EEG) findings in 25 epileptic patients. Our results showed SPECT was more consistent than MRI on detection of localized abnormalities corresponding to epileptic EEG foci. Key words: Epilepsy; Electroencephalography; Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography; Magnetic Resonance İmaging.

Keywords

• Epilepsy; Electroencephalography; Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography; Magnetic Resonance İmaging.
