摘要
Objective: This work investigates the spatial distribution in time of generalized ictal spikes in the typical absences of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE).& para;& para;Methods: We studied twelve children with CAE, who had more than two typical absences during their routine video-EEG. Seizures were identified, and ictal spikes were marked over the maximum electronegative peak, clustered, waveform-averaged and spatiotemporaly analyzed in 2D electrode space.& para;& para;Results: Consistency of spatiotemporal patterns of ictal spikes was high between the absences of the same child, but low between children. Three main discharge patterns were identified: of anterio-posterior propagation, of posterio-anterior propagation and confined to the frontal/prefrontal regions. In 4 patients, the propagation patterns transformed during the seizure into either a lateralized diminished or a non-lateralized reverse direction form. Most spikes originated fronto-temporaly, all maximized over the frontal/prefrontal electrodes and mostly decayed prefrontaly. In 4 patients, lateralized propagation patterns were identified.& para;& para;Conclusions: Ictal spike propagation patterns suggest that epileptogenic CAE networks are personalized, interconnect distal areas in the brain - not the entire cortex - with a tendency to generate bilateral symmetrical discharges, sometimes unsuccessfully. The transformation of propagation patterns during the seizure indicates the existence of dynamic interplay within epileptogenic networks.& para;& para;Significance: Our results support the revised concept of ictogenesis of ILAE definition in genetic (also known as idiopathic) generalized epilepsies. Understanding the focal features in CAE avoids misdiagnosis as focal epilepsy and inappropriate treatment. (C) 2017 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
