Distributed source modeling of stereoencephalographic measurements of ictal activity.
Clinical Neurophysiology : Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology 2024 Februrary 24
OBJECTIVES: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) can define the epileptogenic zone (EZ). However, SEEG is susceptible to the sampling bias, where no SEEG recording is taken within a circumscribed EZ.
METHODS: Nine patients with medically refractory epilepsy underwent SEEG recording, and brain resection got positive outcomes. Ictal neuronal currents were estimated by distributed source modeling using the SEEG data and individual's anatomical magnetic resonance imaging. Using a retrospective leave-one-out data sub-sampling, we evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of the current estimates using MRI after surgical resection or radio-frequency ablation.
RESULTS: The sensitivity and specificity in detecting the EZ were indistinguishable from either the data from all electrodes or the sub-sampled data (rank sum test: rank sum = 23719, p = 0.13) when at least one remaining electrode contact was no more than 20 mm away.
CONCLUSIONS: The distributed neuronal current estimates of ictal SEEG data can mitigate the challenge of delineating the boundary of the EZ in cases of missing an electrode implanted within the EZ and a required second SEEG exploration.
SIGNIFICANCE: Distributed source modeling can be a tool for clinicians to infer the EZ by allowing for more flexible planning of the electrode implantation route and minimizing the number of electrodes.
