摘要: Abstract Purpose To investigate the metabolic differences in hippocampi of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and healthy controls using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Methods A 3D multivoxel SE 135 MRS study on 1.5 T scanner both was performed 17 JME normal brain MRI 19 age sex matched controls. Three dominant signals were measured: Choline (Cho), Creatine (tCr) N-Acetylaspartate (NAA) expressed as ratios Cho:tCr, NAA:tCr, NAA:Cho NAA:(Cho + tCr). Metabolite head, body tail each hippocampus group compared from corresponding structures control group. Results We found a significant difference metabolite between groups. detected Cho:tCr NAA:tCr tail, NAA:(Cho + tCr) left hippocampus, right hippocampus. Discussion Although not previously recognized part epileptogenic network, our results suggest that well key player focal epilepsies , may have certain role pathogenesis JME.
