Magnetoencephalographic spikes with small spikes on simultaneous electroencephalography have high spatial clustering in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Epilepsy Research 2023 March 22
OBJECTIVE: To classify magnetoencephalographic (MEG) spikes according to the findings of simultaneous scalp electroencephalography (EEG) to study dipole estimation in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
METHODS: We analyzed MEG and simultaneous scalp EEG in 27 patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. We classified MEG spikes into three groups (H-EM-spikes, L-EM-spikes, M-spikes) based on the amplitude of simultaneous EEG (50 μV or higher, lower than 50 μV, no spike morphology on EEG, respectively). We calculated parameters of the dipoles, such as goodness of fit (GOF), current moment, and location.
RESULTS: We detected 707 MEG spikes, consisting of 175 H-EM-spikes, 245 L-EM-spikes, and 287 M-spikes. Dipoles of H-EM-spikes showed the highest current moment among the three spike groups. Dipoles of L-EM-spikes showed the highest GOF, a moderate current moment, the highest density to cluster, and the highest proportion of being located in the temporal lobe among the three groups. Dipoles of M-spikes showed the lowest GOF and current moment among the three groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The characteristics of the dipoles of the MEG spikes differ depending on the simultaneous scalp EEG findings, though most of the MEG spikes were located in the temporal lobe. MEG spikes with concurrent small spikes on simultaneous scalp EEG may have higher spatial clustering in temporal lobe epilepsy.
