  • Title: Application of ictal brain SPECT for differentiating epileptic from nonepileptic seizures.
    Author: De León OA, Blend MJ, Jobe TH, Pontón M, Gaviria M.
    Journal: J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci; 1997; 9(1):99-101. PubMed ID: 9017536.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 2 clinical cases that illustrate the difficulties with video-monitored EEG and the advantages of brain SPECT in differential diagnosis of true epileptic seizures and nonepileptic seizures. Injection of [99mTc]HMPAO at the time of the ictal event provides a means to obtain a SPECT image postictally for comparison with interictal examinations so that an epileptic or nonepileptic focus may be localized.
