The predictive value of FDG-PET with 3D-SSP for surgical outcomes in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

⿢Hypometabolism was compared among patients with mTLE by concordance and outcome.⿢FDG-PET with 3D-SSP can facilitate the prediction of epileptic focus location.⿢Hypometabolism in mesial temporal lobe indicated good outcome in discordant cases.⿢Lateral temporal lobe FDG-PET data were not conclusive for epileptic focus presence.
