Methods From December 2006 to May 2010, 38 cases of pharmacal intractable epilepsy were confirmed through operation and pathologic examination. Among them, there were 25 cases of hippocampal sclerosis, 2 cases of temporal lobe atrophy combined with brain dysplasia, 4 cases of heterotopic gray matter and macrogyria, 3 cases of vascular malformation, 2 cases of glioma, 1 case of cyst in brain, and 1 case of traumatic epilepsy. Video-EEG was applied to monitor the source of epileptoid discharge and the features of brain electrical activity during and between the occurrences of epilepsy. MRI was used to detect the manifestation characteristics of the epilepsy focus, and retrospective analysis was done to compare these findings with operational and pathological results. Results The accuracy rate of Video-EEG in locating the epilepsy focus was 100% (38/38) during the occurrence of epilepsy, and 53% (20/38) between the occurrences of epilepsy. The accuracy rate of MRI in diagnosing the epilepsy focus and relevant abnormalities during the occurrence of epilepsy was 89% (34/38), and 79% (30/38) in characterizing the abnormalities. Conclusion Video-EEG combined with MRI examination is effective in locating and characterizing the epilepsy focus, which can provide more useful information for the surgery in treating pharmacal intractable epilepsy.

Methods All of 78 refractory epilepsy patitents were complex partial seizure. Magnetic resonance imaging and 24 hour video electroencephalogram (VEEG) were used to orientate epileptogenic focus preoperatively. Thirty-one patiens were limited to temporal and forty-seven patients were both temporal and frontal. Twenty-four lead electrocorticogram (ECoG) was used to orientate epileptogenic focus intraoperatively and directed multiple operative patterns. Results Thereisa certain coherence between Preoperative VEEG and intraoperative ECoG epileptogenic focus location, but larger rangein latter. Conclusion Intraoperative e ECoG may orientate epileptogenic focus further accurately, for the suitable surgical options and appropriate surgical excision.
ObjectiveTo explore the application value of MRS combined with VEEG on the surgical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. MethodsThere were 31 males and 20 females, age between 4 and 62 years.Their illness duration ranged from 4 to 10 years.The clinical manifestations showed complex partial seizure in 10 cases, secondary generalized seizure in 12 and generalized tonic-clonic seizure in 29. Based on their results of clinical manifestations, MRS and VEEG results, all the patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy(including the most parts of the hippocampus and amydala). ResultsThe follow-up of 1~3 years after the operation showed seizure free in 36 cases(Engle Ⅰ), and significant improvement in 11(Engle Ⅱ), no improvement in 4 cases(Engle Ⅳ). The overall effective rate was 92.16%. ConclusionsMRS combined with VEEG has significant localization value for temporal lobe epilepsy. The prognosis of postoperative result is quiet good to the patient of typical temporal lobe epilepsy after anterior temporal lobectomy.
ObjectiveTo explore the prognostic value of normal 24 hour video electroencephalography (VEEG) with different frequency on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) withdrawal in cryptogenic epilepsy patients with three years seizure-free. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted in the Neurology outpatient and the Epilepsy Center of Xi Jing Hospital. The subject who had been seizure free more than 3 years were divided into continual normal twice group and once group according to the nomal frequence of 24 hour VEEG before discontinuation from January 2013 to December 2014, and then followed up to replase or to December 2015. The recurrence and cumulative recurrence rate of the two group after withdrawal AEDs were compared with chi-square or Fisher's exact test and Kaplan-Meier survival curve. A Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis to identify the risk factors for seizure recurrence after univariate analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered significant, and all P values were two-tailed. Results95 epilepsy patients with cause unknown between 9 to 45 years old were recruited (63 in normal twice group and 32 in normal once group). The cumulated recurrence rates in continual two normal VEEG group vs one normal VEEG group were 4.8% vs 21.9% (P=0.028), 4.8% vs 25% (P=0.006) and 7.9% vs 25%(P=0.03) at 18 months, 24 months and endpoint following AEDs withdrawal and there was statistically difference between the two groups. Factors associated with increased risk were adolescent onset epilepsy (HR=2.404), history of withdrawal recurrence (HR=7.186) and abnormal VEEG (epileptic-form discharge) (HR=8.222) during or after withdrawal AEDs. The recurrence rate of each group in which abnormal VEEG vs unchanged VEEG during or after withdrawal AEDs was respectively 100% vs 4.92% (P=0.005), 80% vs 19.23%(P=0.009). ConclusionsContinual normal 24h VEEG twice before withdrawal AEDs had higher predicting value of seizure recurrence and it could guide physicians to make the withdrawal decision. Epileptic patients with adolescent onset epilepsy, history of seizure recurrence and abnormal VEEG (epileptic-form discharge) during or after withdrawal AEDs had high risk of replase, especially patients with the presence of VEEG abnormalities is associated with a high probability of seizures occurring. Discontinuate AEDs should be cautious.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical value of video-electroencephalograph (VEEG) for non-epileptic seizures disease in children. MethodsThe clinical data of 58 children with non-epileptic seizures (NES) diagnosed by VEEG from October 2010 to November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsIn 50 out of 58 patients in the process of monitoring,the NES clinical onset was found while no synchronized epileptiform discharges was observed;in five patients with NES combined with epilepsy,no epileptiform discharges was found by VEEG at the clinical onset of NES;there were 3 patients with epileptiform discharges without seizures,who had no history of epilepsy,but non-synchronized clinical nonparoxysmal epileptiform discharges was found by VEEG monitoring. ConclusionVEEG is an effective diagnosis method for NES and seizures in children,which could be regarded as the gold standard for NES diagnosis.
ObjectiveTo find out the most appropriate way to fix scalp electrodes for long-range video electroencephalogram on female patients. MethodsA total of 50 female patients with epilepsy who underment video electroencephalogram between May 2011 and May 2013 were divided into tonsure group, collodion group, and improvement group, with 40 patients in each group. Differences among three methods of fixation were observed and a questionnaire survey on satisfaction of patients and medical staff was conducted. ResultsWe found that the modified-method cost less time, caused less pain during electrode removal, required fewer procedures for nurses and was more acceptable by patients. ConclusionWe recommend the modified-method for female patients unless they are limited by some special conditions.
ObjectiveTo investigate the video-electroencephalography (VEEG) characteristics of old patients with epilepsy (OPWE). MethodsBetween June 2013 and July 2014, 57 OPWE at an age over 60 years were assigned to research group and 65 adults between 16 and 60 years old with epilepsy were regarded as controls. All the subjects underwent VEEG for 24 hours covering awake state and sleep with hyperventilation test being applied. Chi square was used to compare occurrence rate of epileptic wave and abnormal response rate after hyperventilation between the two groups of patients. Additionally, ictal elcetroencephalograph (EEG) was analyzed. ResultsCommon features of waves on EEG for patients in both the two groups during the ictal period included widespread low amplitude fast wave (2 cases in the research group, 7.4%; 4 cases in the control group, 12.5%), focal low amplitude fast wave (5 cases in the research group, 18.5%; 6 cases in the control group, 18.8%), widespread spike or spike slowing complex (3 cases in the research group, 11.1%; 7 case in the control group, 21.8%), focal spike or spike slowing complex (5 cases in the research group, 14.9%; 8 cases in the control group, 25.0%), and focal rhythmic slow wave (6 cases in the research group, 18.5%; 6 cases in the control group, 18.8%). In the research group, there were two following cases:single abnormal background activity in 5 cases (18.5%), and neither abnormal background activity nor epileptic discharge in 1 case (3.7%). Ictal focal epileptic discharges were found in 16 cases in the research group and 8 in the control group (59.3% vs 25.0%), with statistical difference (P<0.05). Inter-ictal epilepsy discharges were found in 57 patients of the research group (awake, 15.8%; sleep, 52.6%), which was less than that in the control group (awake, 46.2%; sleep, 83.1%) with statistical difference (P<0.05), accompanied by focal slow wave (temporal intermittent rhythmic delta activity, TIRDA) in 9 cases. In natural sleep period, epilepsy discharge occurrences increased (65.3%). Abnormal response rate in the research group (14.0%) was lower than that in the control group (64.6%) with statistical difference (P<0.05). ConclusionEarly onset EEG of the old and the adult are similar except those with single abnormal background activity and those with neither abnormal background activity nor epileptic discharge. Focal onset on EEG is more frequently seen in OPWE than in APWE. In natural sleep, epileptic discharge increases among OPWE, and abnormal response during hyperventilation is less likely to happen in OPWE.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical and EEG features, therapeutic response and prognosis of eyelid myoclonia-nonconvulsive status epilepticus (EM-NCSE) in children.MethodsCollected the clinical and EEG data of 3 children with EM-NCSE that were diagnosed in department of neurology in Qilu Children Hospital of Shandong university during the January in 2015 to August in 2016.Analysed the therapeutic response to antiepletic drugs(AEDs).ResultsAmong the three children, there were 2 girls and 1 boy.The age at the onset of the disease was from 6 to 10 years old.The average age of them is 8.67 years old.The clinical manifestations include mental confusion, dysphoria, winking and scrolling up the eyes.The typical vedio electroencephalography (VEEG) in the patients showed 3~6 Hz generalized spike and waves and polyspikes burst, especially in the frontal and the anterior temporal region.In addition, the eye closure and intermittent photic stimulation helped to induce discharges and clinical events as eyelid myoclonia (EM).ConclusionsEM-NCSE is one of the idiopathic and generalized epileptic disease and characterized by EM.Video EEG monitoring plays an important role in the diagnosis of this disease.The drugs of choice for treatment was diazepam.When the event was controlled, AEDs were effective for the following therapy.
