Résumé

A 40-year-old woman with a drug-resistant focal epilepsy underwent cerebral FDG PET in phase 1 presurgical epilepsy study. MRI essentially showed multiple periventricular nodular heterotopias. The stereoelectroencephalography coupled to MRI and FDG PET helped to define the anatomofunctional correlation of the epileptogenic zone network. This procedure brought to light 3 distinct patterns of FDG consumption, corresponding to different anatomoelectroclinical features. This pattern was already found in a previous FDG PET reflecting a "stable" permanent intralesional intercritical stereoelectroencephalography activity, an electrical "signature" of the lesion. Finally, functional imaging improved thermocoagulation in this patient and emphasized the use of FDG in drug-resistant epilepsy.
