Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 5-year-old boy presented with intractable epilepsy since he was 3 months of age. He was born at 33-week gestation with preterm intracerebral hemorrhage. Infantile spasm, cerebral palsy, and delayed development were noted after birth. The seizure progressed in the past years. Medication and diet regimens were not helpful. Magnetic resonance imaging showed right occipital pachygyria and hypoxic porencephaly in left hemisphere. EEG delineated continuous spike-wave at right parieto-occipital area which sometimes augmented and caused seizure. On FDG PET, slightly increased metabolism in right occipital cortex was associated with continuous neuronal electronic discharging from the dysfunctional pachygyria. |
