OBJECTIVE: Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of focal drug-resistant epilepsy. Seizures with predominant involvement of basal temporal regions (BTR) are not well characterized. In this stereo electroencephalography (SEEG) study, we aimed at describing the ictal networks involving BTR and the associated clinical features.
METHODS: We studied 24 patients explored with SEEG in our center with BTR sampling. We analyzed their seizures using a quantitative method: the "epileptogenicity index". Then we reported the features of the patients with maximal epileptogenicity within BTR, especially ictal network involved, ictal semiology and post-surgical outcome.
RESULTS: We found that rhinal cortex, parahippocampal cortex and posterior fusiform gyrus were the most epileptogenic structures within the BTR (mean EI: 0.57, 0.55, 0.54 respectively). Three main groups of epileptogenic zone organization were found: anterior (23% of total seizures) posterior (30%) and global (47%, both anterior and posterior). Contralateral spread was found in 35% of left seizures and 20% of right seizures. Naming deficit was more prevalent in left BTR (71% vs 29% in right seizures; p = 0.01) whereas automatic speech production was preferentially represented in right seizures (11% vs 54%; p = 0.001). Surgery was proposed for 11 patients (45.8%), leading to seizure freedom in 72% (Engel Class I). One patient presented post-operative permanent functional deficit.
CONCLUSION: Basal-temporal lobe epilepsy seems to be a specific entity among the temporal epilepsy spectrum with specific clinical characteristics. Resective surgery can be proposed with good outcomes in a significant proportion of patients and is safe provided that adequate language assessment has been preoperatively made.
