Phase Lag Analyses on Ictal Scalp Electroencephalography May Predict Outcomes of Corpus Callosotomy for Epileptic Spasms

Abstract: Objective: We aimed to clarify the patterns of ictal power and phase lag among bilateral hemispheres on scalp electroencephalography (EEG) recorded pre-operatively during epileptic spasms (ESs) and the correlation with the outcomes following corpus callosotomy.Methods: We enrolled 17 patients who underwent corpus callosotomy for ESs before 20 years of age. After corpus callosotomy, seven patients did not experience further ESs (favorable outcome group), and the remaining 10 patients had ongoing ESs (unfavorabl… Show more

“…Of these, three patients achieved seizure freedom with CC only, and two achieved seizure freedom through additional treatments [9]. In the patients with partial response in those previous studies, CC achieved reduction of seizure frequency and/or changed the ES into smaller ones, like head nodding or resolving drop attacks, unilaterally focal onset ES, or bilaterally independent focal onset-ES [3,4,6,[8][9][10][11][12]61,71]. Large data of long-term outcomes of CC for ES is unavailable.…”

“…In these cases, ictal EEG is visually bilateral and synchronous on slow waves [10]. Computed frequency analyses of presurgical scalp EEG recordings have shown small phase lags of ictal slow and beta waves among the bilateral hemispheres and less power and connectivity on interictal records [8,11]. caused predominantly by unilateral cortices and tend to show a uniformly lateralized seizure type.…”
