Interictal brain SPECT is useful for the localization of a seizure focus. Concomitant hypoperfusion of the ipsilateral thalamus on interictal SPECT has been noted for temporal lobe epilepsy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of thalamic hypoperfusion ipsilateral to temporal hypoperfusion (ipsilateral thalamic hypoperfusion) and to assess the usefulness of this finding for the lateralization of epileptic foci on interictal SPECT for temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Methods: Forty-six patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy underwent interictal brain SPECT after intravenous injection of 555-740 MBq of 99mTc-ECD. Perfusion impairments in the brain, especially the ...
