Comparison of electroencephalographic dipoles of interictal spikes from prolonged scalp video-electroencephalography and magnetoencephalographic dipoles from short-term recording in children with extratemporal lobe epilepsy.

We retrospectively compared electroencephalographic (EEG) dipoles of interictal spikes from prolonged video-EEG monitoring with magnetoencephalographic dipoles from short-term recording in four children with extratemporal lobe epilepsy. We analyzed both sets of dipoles using individual interictal spikes and single moving dipole modeling and evaluated the profiles of spike appearance, dipole position, and orientation in EEG and magnetoencephalography. We obtained more than 100 magnetoencephalographic spikes in two patients who manifested frequent interictal EEG spikes throughout both day and night but fewer than 40 magnetoencephalographic spikes in two patients who had interictal EEG spikes mainly during sleep. The dipole positions of EEG and magnetoencephalography were in close proximity and included in the surgical resection area. Most of the dipoles between EEG and magnetoencephalography were oriented perpendicularly. A combination of EEG dipole analysis from prolonged video-EEG monitoring and magnetoencephalographic dipole analysis provides complementary information for presurgical evaluation in children with intractable extratemporal lobe epilepsy.

Early evoked potentials in patients with acoustic neuroma.

Using clicks with varying interstimulus intervals and coherent tone-bursts, early components of the auditory evoked potential (brain stem responses) were studied in four patients with confirmed acoustic neuroma. Abnormalities in responses appeared with shorter interstimulus intervals and with tone-bursts delivered monaurally to the involved ear; bilateral alterations occurred in one patient with brain stem displacement. The results indicate that BSR can provide a stable, independent, noninvasive measure of auditory nerve function useful in the early detection of acoustic neuroma. The results contribute to the understanding of the so-called human FFR.

Idiopathic polyneuropathy associated with cytotoxic anti-neuroblastoma serum. IgG and IgM immunoglobulin studies.

Serums from six patients with progressive idiopathic acute or chronic polyneuropathy possessed a cytolytic activity against transformed mouse cholinergic or noncholinergic neuroblasts but not against transformed rat astrocytes. This activity was not qualitatively nor quantitatively present in serums from normal controls or from patients with a variety of other motor system disorders and other neurologic disorders. Fluorescein conjugated goat antihuman IgG and IgM monospecific immunoglubulins were used to characterize further the cytotoxic activity from patient serums and these studies suggested the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) directed against a cell surface neuroblastoma antigen. Cold reactive immunoglobulins of the IgG and IgM type were present in the serums of all six patients. A bioassay is described that may be helpful in evaluating other patients with progressive idiopathic polyneuropathies.
