Volume of hippocampal activation as a determining factor for the lateralisation of the epileptogenic zone in patients with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Approximately 30% of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) will develop drug resistance, which requires early surgical treatment. The success of the surgical procedure largely depends on the correct lateralisation of the epileptogenic zone, which can only be determined in 70% of patients with such conventional diagnostic tools as video electroencephalography and volumetric structural magnetic resonance imaging. We evaluated the performance of a memory functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm in lateralising the epileptogenic zone in patients with drug-resistant MTLE.
