OBJECTIVE: The efficacy of epilepsy surgery depends critically upon successful
localization of the epileptogenic zone. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) enables
noninvasive detection of interictal spike activity in epilepsy, which can then be
localized in three dimensions using magnetic source imaging (MSI) techniques.
However, the clinical value of MEG in the presurgical epilepsy evaluation is not
fully understood, as studies to date are limited by either a lack of long-term
seizure outcomes or small sample size. METHODS: We performed a retrospective
cohort study of patients with focal epilepsy who received MEG for interictal
spike mapping followed by surgical resection at our institution. RESULTS: We
studied 132 surgical patients, with mean postoperative follow-up of 3.6 years
(minimum 1 year). Dipole source modeling was successful in 103 patients (78%),
whereas no interictal spikes were seen in others. Among patients with successful
dipole modeling, MEG findings were concordant with and specific to the following:
(1) the region of resection in 66% of patients, (2) invasive electrocorticography
(ECoG) findings in 67% of individuals, and (3) the magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) abnormality in 74% of cases. MEG showed discordant lateralization in ~5% of
cases. After surgery, 70% of all patients achieved seizure freedom (Engel class I
outcome). Whereas 85% of patients with concordant and specific MEG findings
became seizure-free, this outcome was achieved by only 37% of individuals with
MEG findings that were nonspecific to or discordant with the region of resection
(?(2) = 26.4, p < 0.001). MEG reliability was comparable in patients with or
without localized scalp electroencephalography (EEG), and overall, localizing MEG
findings predicted seizure freedom with an odds ratio of 5.11 (95% confidence
interval [CI] 2.23-11.8). SIGNIFICANCE: MEG is a valuable tool for noninvasive
interictal spike mapping in epilepsy surgery, including patients with
nonlocalized findings receiving long-term EEG monitoring, and localization of the
epileptogenic zone using MEG is associated with improved seizure outcomes.
