Summary
A novel dipole tracing method identified the right hippocampus as the source of sharp waves in a patient with partial complex seizures. Surgical removal of this area resulted in the patient becoming seizure-free.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Epileptology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Partial complex seizures can originate from the temporal lobe.
- Interictal sharp waves are EEG abnormalities observed between seizures.
- Accurate localization of seizure sources is crucial for effective treatment.
