摘要
Objective Ictal direct current shifts (icDCs) and ictal high-frequency oscillations (icHFOs) have been reported as surrogate markers for better surgical outcomes in epilepsy surgery. icDCs have been classified into two types: rapid and slow development. icDCs have been investigated with a time constant of 10 s (TC10s); however, many institutes use electroencephalography with a time constant of 2 s (TC2s). This study aimed to evaluate whether icDCs can be observed adequately with TC2s; moreover, it examined the relationship between the resected core area of icDCs or icHFOs and surgical outcomes, occurrence rate of each type of icDCs, and relationship between each type of icDCs and pathology.Methods Twenty-five patients with intractable focal epilepsy were analyzed retrospectively. icDCs and icHFOs were defined according to common metrics. The amplitude of icDCs was defined at >200 mu V and even <200 mu V. The two electrodes producing the most prominent icDCs and icHFOs were defined as core electrodes. The correlation between the resected core electrode area and degree of seizure control after surgery was analyzed. icDCs were classified into two types based on a peak latency value cutoff of 8.9 s, and the occurrence rates of both patterns were investigated.Results icDCs (142/147 seizures [96.6%]) and icHFOs (135/147 seizures [91.8%]) occurred in all patients (100%). Compared with the amplitude of icDCs with TC10s reported in previous studies, the amplitude of icDCs with TC2s was attenuated in the current study. A significant positive correlation was observed between the resected core electrode area and degree of seizure control in both icDCs and icHFOs. A rapid development pattern was observed in 202 of 264 electrodes (76.5%).SignificanceSimilar to icDCs with TC10s, those with TC2s were observed adequately. Furthermore, favorable outcomes are expected using TC2s, which is currently available worldwide.
