ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We hypothesized that an endovascular electroencephalogram (eEEG) can detect subdural electrode (SDE)-detectable, scalp EEG-undetectable epileptiform discharges. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to measure SDE-detectable, scalp EEG-undetectable epileptiform discharges by an eEEG on a pig.METHODS:
A pig under general anesthesia was utilized to measure an artificially generated epileptic field by an eEEG that was able to be detected by an SDE, but not a scalp EEG as a primary outcome. We also compared the phase lag of each epileptiform discharge that was detected by the eEEG and SDE as a secondary outcome.RESULTS:
The eEEG electrode detected 113 (97%) epileptiform discharges (97% sensitivity). Epileptiform discharges that were localized within the three contacts (contacts two, three and four), but not spread to other parts, were detected by the eEEG with a 92% sensitivity. The latency between peaks of the eEEG and right SDE earliest epileptiform discharge ranged from 0 to 48 ms (mean, 13.3 ms; median, 11 ms; standard deviation, 9.0 ms).CONCLUSION:
In a pig, an eEEG could detect epileptiform discharges that an SDE could detect, but that a scalp EEG could not.
