Abstract:ObjectiveThe study investigated metabolic connectivity (MC) differences between patients with unilateral drug‐resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and healthy controls (HC), based on [18 F]‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)‐PET data. We focused on the MC changes dependent on the lateralization of the epileptogenic lobe and on correlations with postoperative outcome.MethodsFDG‐PET scans of 47 patients with unilateral MTLE with histopathologically proven HS and 25 HC were include… Show more
