Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: Direct cortical stimulation (DCS) is standard for intracranial presurgical evaluation in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Few studies have reported levels of concordance between spontaneous seizure generators and triggered seizures during DCS. The present work reports validity measures of DCS for detecting the seizure onset zone (SOZ) during stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).
METHODS: We evaluated all patients who underwent SEEG evaluation at our epilepsy center between 2013 and 2019. Data were analyzed using contingency tables. Validity measures of the diagnostic test were computed for all patients evaluated with DCS and for seizure free patients.
RESULTS: Fifty-eight consecutive patients were evaluated through DCS. One hundred seventy-three clinical seizures were elicited with DCS. Electroclinical identical to spontaneous seizures were considered true positive (TP) seizures. They showed a high specificity (96.9%) for detecting the SOZ in patients that remained seizure free one year after treatment. Sensitivity was low (23.0%), and a high percentage of false-negative stimulations was documented in the SOZ. The accuracy was 87.9%.
CONCLUSIONS: DCS is a technique with high specificity but a low sensitivity for the localization of the SOZ. The DCS validity measures need to be known when considered for surgical decisions. The interpretation of DCS-triggered seizures and the differentiation of true-positive vs false-positive seizures should be carefully evaluated.
SIGNIFICANCE: DCS seizure triggering is highly specific for SOZ localization.
