Relationship Between Postsurgical Outcome of Patients Who Underwent Surgery at Our Institution as Determined by Engel’s Classification and Asymmetric Basal Ganglia and Thalamic Uptake on Ictal SPECT Studies
| Postsurgical outcome* (n = 37) | Basal ganglia | Thalamus | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asymmetric* | Symmetric | Asymmetric* | Symmetric | |||
| Engel’s class I (n = 24) | 10 | 12 | 9 | 13 | ||
| Engel’s class II (n = 10) | 4 | 6 | 4 | 6 | ||
| Engel’s class III (n = 5) | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | ||
| Engel’s class IV (n = 0)* | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
↵* Additional 2 patients (1 from class III and 1 from class IV, both of whom without asymmetric uptake in thalamus or basal ganglia) underwent surgical treatment elsewhere and were referred to our facility for further evaluation.
Engel’s classification (27).
