【 摘 要 】

Multimodal image integration (MMII) is a promising tool to help delineate the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in patients with medically intractable focal epilepsies undergoing presurgical evaluation. We report here the detailed methodology of MMII and an overview of the utility of MMII at the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center from 2014 to 2018, exemplified by illustrative cases. The image integration was performed using the Curry platform (Compumedics Neuroscan™, Charlotte, NC, USA), including all available diagnostic modalities such as Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG), with additional capability of trajectory planning for intracranial EEG (ICEEG), particularly stereo-EEG (SEEG), as well as surgical resection planning. In the 5-year time span, 467 patients underwent MMII; of them, 98 patients (21%) had a history of prior neurosurgery and recurring seizures. Of the 467 patients, 425 patients underwent ICEEG implantation with further CT co-registration to identify the electrode locations. A total of 351 patients eventually underwent surgery after MMII, including 197 patients (56%) with non-lesional MRI and 223 patients (64%) with extra-temporal lobe epilepsy. Among 269 patients with 1-year post-operative follow up, 134 patients (50%) had remained completely seizure-free. The most common histopathological finding is focal cortical dysplasia. Our study illustrates the usefulness of MMII to enhance SEEG electrode trajectory planning, assist non-invasive/invasive data interpretation, plan resection strategy, and re-evaluate surgical failures. Information presented by MMII is essential to the understanding of the anatomo-functional-electro-clinical correlations in individual cases, which leads to the ultimate success of presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable focal epilepsies.
