RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the prevalence of Interictal Dysphoric Disorder (IDD) in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and to describe its clinical and psychopathological profile, including personality, as well as its impact on quality of life (QOL). METHOD: A retrospective cross-sectional study from an Epilepsy Unit from January 2007 to December 2017. All patients were diagnosed with DRE. Patients underwent a battery of tests (HADS, SCL-90R, PDQ-4+, QOLIE-31) and a psychiatrist assessed the presence of Axis-I disorders and IDD. Statistical procedures were carried out using R-4.0.1 software. RESULTS: A total of 282 patients were included. A statistically significant association was found between IDD and mood and anxiety disorders (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05 respectively), and between IDD and higher scores in all HADS and SCL-90-R items compared to subjects without IDD (p < 0.001). A statistically significant association was also found between IDD and obsessive-compulsive, borderline and depressive personality disorder (p < 0.05). Scores in all QOLIE-31 items except for 'medication effects' were significantly lower in subjects with IDD compared with subjects without IDD (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In DRE, IDD subjects show differences in the psychopathological profile and QOL scores compared to subjects without a diagnosis of IDD. An early diagnosis of IDD could facilitate prompt interventions which might positively impact QOL.

RESUMO

•Depressive/anxious disorders and cognitive impairment are frequent comorbidities in epilepsy and have a more deleterious effect in DRE.•Studies concerning the relationship between anxiety and depression and cognitive performance in DRE are scarce.•Higher scores in HADS are associated with lower QOLIE-31 scores and might be considered as predictors of QOL in DRE.•A relationship between anxious and depressive symptoms -measured with HADS and SCL-90R- and cognition might not exist.•There remains an unexplored study area regarding this relationship which requires more attention to improve the assessment of DRE.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of peri-ictal SPECT in localising the epileptogenic region (ER) in candidates for temporal lobectomy to treat medically refractory complex partial seizures (CPS). Interictal and ictal SPECT, MRI and video-EEG results were compared and the positive predictive value (PPV) was calculated in those patients with good surgical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 37 patients who had a minimum of 3 years follow-up after surgery were studied retrospectively. Pre-surgical evaluation had included video-EEG monitoring, MRI and interictal and ictal SPECT. These results were compared to the surgically treated ER and successful outcome confirmed by post-surgical clinical follow-up. 29/37 patients remained seizure-free in the post-surgical follow-up. Interictal and peri-ictal SPECT were performed using 740 MBq of 99mTc-HMPAO. Peri-ictal SPECT was ictal in 25 patients and postictal in 12. RESULTS: ER concordance with video-EEG and peri-ictal SPECT was 86% (32/37 patients). It was 84% (31/37) for MRI and 54% (20/37 patients) for interictal SPECT. Peri-ictal SPECT localised the ER in 8/11 patients with discordant MRI and video-EEG results. Ictal SPECT localised the ER in the correct temporal lobe in 23/25 patients (92% concordance). In the 29 patients with a good surgical outcome, the PPV of video-EEG was 95% (27/29) and it was 90% (26/29) for both MRI and peri-ictal SPECT. CONCLUSIONS: peri-ictal brain SPECT is well able to localize ER in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Periictal SPECT concordance with ER was as good as video-EEG and MRI and its PPV was as good as that of MRI. We strongly recommend its use in the pre-surgical evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy, especially when MRI and EEG are discordant.

RESUMO

We present the case of a 43-year-old man diagnosed of insipid diabetes and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in whom a right temporal bone lesion was observed in the control MRI, thus leading to his admission. A bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-HMDP showed increased uptake in the right temporal region with sphenoidal extension, coinciding with the MRI. In addition, increased uptake having less intensity and size was observed in the left temporal region. A biopsy on the newly appearing mouth ulcers in the jugal mucous was performed and showed Langerhan's cells, the diagnosis of histiocytosis X being confirmed. Six months later a new MRI indicated disease progression with bilateral temporal involvement. The bone scan findings in this case provided a more exact extension diagnosis of the disease than the MRI.

RESUMO

AIM: To assess the utility of salivary gland scintigraphy and salivary flow to quantify salivary function and to evaluate the usefulness of pilocarpine in the treatment of radiation-induced xerestomia in head and neck cancer patients. METHOD: Thirty two patients with head and neck tumor treated with radiotherapy (RDT) were studied. Patients were classified into two groups: pilocarpine group (P), that received prophylactic pilocarpine before RDT and during the first year after treatment. No pilocarpine group (NP) that received RDT without pilocarpine. Salivary gland scintigraphy and salivary flow were performed before RDT and during one year after treatment. Parotid and submaxillary uptake and excretion were calculated. Salivary flow after stimulation during five minutes was also obtained. RESULTS: Uptake and excretion in both salivary glands decreased after RDT. There were no statistical differences comparing P and NP groups (p < 0.001). However, in group P a trend to recovery was observed in parotid uptake values at 12 months after treatment, but it was not statistically significant. In both groups the salivary flow decreased after RDT and a good correlation (r = 0.8) between salivary flow and submaxillary excretion and parotid excretion was found. CONCLUSIONS: Salivary gland scintigraphy and salivary flow could be useful to evaluate salivary gland function in patients with head and neck irradiated tumors. Although better results on the salivary uptake at 12 months were noted, pilocarpine did not significantly improve salivary gland function.

RESUMO

Introducción: el objetivo de este trabajo fue valorar la utilidad de la tomografía computarizada por emisión monofotónica (SPECT) periictal para localizar la región epileptógena (RE) en pacientes con crisis parciales complejas (CPC) del lóbulo temporal. Material y métodos: de forma retrospectiva se ha evaluado a 37 pacientes con CPC del lóbulo temporal a quienes se realizó una lobectomía temporal completa o selectiva. Para ello, se comparó la concordancia de la RE quirúrgica con los hallazgos de la resonancia magnética (RM), el videoelectroencefalograma (vídeo-EEG) y las SPECT cerebrales interictal y periictal. En segundo lugar, se valoró el valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de estas exploraciones en los 29 pacientes que presentaron un buen control de las crisis tras la cirugía. La SPECT se realizó tras la inyección de 740 MBq de 99mTc-HMPAO. Resultados: la concordancia de la RE quirúrgica con el vídeo-EEG, la RM, la SPECT icterictal y la SPECT periictal fue del 86% (32/37 pacientes), el 84% (31/37 pacientes), el 54% (20/37 pacientes) y el 86% (32/37 pacientes), respectivamente. En los 11 casos con RM y vídeo-EEG discordante o normal, la SPECT periictal fue decisivo en 8 (73%). En los 29 pacientes con evolución favorable tras la cirugía, el VPP del vídeo-EEG fue del 95% (27/29) y el de la RM y la SPECT periictal fue del 90% (26/29). Conclusiones: la concordancia de la RE quirúrgica con la SPECT periictal fue similar al del vídeo-EEG y la RM y tuvo el mismo VPP que la RM. Por ello, creemos que la SPECT periictal debe emplearse de forma sistemática en la evaluación prequirúrgica de la epilepsia del lóbulo temporal, especialmente cuando vídeo-EEG y RM son discordantes o normales(AU)

RESUMO

Exponemos el caso de un varón de 43 años diagnosticado de diabetes insípida e hipogonadismo hipogonadotropo, que en la RM craneal de control se objetivó una lesión extraaxial temporal derecha, motivo por el que fue ingresado. Se realizó una gammagrafía ósea que describió un aumento de captación de Tc99m-HMDP en región temporal derecha con extensión esfenoidal, coincidente con la RM. Además, en región temporal izquierda se observó una hipercaptación de menor intensidad y tamaño. Se realizó biopsia sobre úlceras bucales de nueva aparición en mucosa yugal que mostró células de Langerhans, estableciéndose el diagnóstico de histiocitosis X. Al cabo de 6 meses se realizó una nueva RM que demostró progresión de la enfermedad, con afectación temporal bilateral. Los hallazgos de la gammagrafía ósea, dieron lugar en este caso a un diagnóstico de extensión de la enfermedad más preciso que la RM
