We used 99mTc HM-PAO SPECT to study 50 patients with partial epilepsy: 47 interictally and 3 during a seizure. All 3 patients studied during a seizure presented an area of increased tracer uptake. Of those in whom recordings were taken during seizure-free intervals 35 (74%) showed perfusion asymmetries: 27 (57%) with decreased and 8 (17%) with increased uptake. We discuss the findings and compare them with those of similar studies using SPECT and positron emission tomography.

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
