摘要
OBJECTIVE:To determine how sevoflurane anesthesia modulates intraoperative epilepsy biomarkers on electrocorticography, including high-frequency oscillation (HFO) effective connectivity (EC), and to investigate their relation to epileptogenicity and anatomical white matter.
METHODS:We studied eight pediatric drug-resistant focal epilepsy patients who achieved seizure control after invasive monitoring and resective surgery. We visualized spatial distributions of the electrocorticography biomarkers at an oxygen baseline, three time-points while sevoflurane was increasing, and at a plateau of 2 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) sevoflurane. HFO EC was combined with diffusion-weighted imaging, in dynamic tractography.
RESULTS:Intraoperative HFO EC diffusely increased as a function of sevoflurane concentration, although most in epileptogenic sites (defined as those included in the resection); their ability to classify epileptogenicity was optimized at sevoflurane 2 MAC. HFO EC could be visualized on major white matter tracts, as a function of sevoflurane level.
CONCLUSIONS:The results strengthened the hypothesis that sevoflurane-activated HFO biomarkers may help intraoperatively localize the epileptogenic zone.
SIGNIFICANCE:Our results help characterize how HFOs at non-epileptogenic and epileptogenic networks respond to sevoflurane. It may be warranted to establish a normative HFO atlas incorporating the modifying effects of sevoflurane and major white matter pathways, as critical reference in epilepsy presurgical evaluation.
