Abstract:

Morphometric MRI analysis improves neuroimaging of structural changes in epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate diagnostic potential of MR brain morphometry in neurosurgical epileptology.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

An interdisciplinary working group reviewed the studies devoted to MR morphometry in epileptology as a part of state assignment No. 056-00119-22-00. Study subject was trials of MR-morphometry in epilepsy. Searching for literature data was conducted in international and national databases between 2017 and 2022 using certain keywords. Final analysis included 36 publications.

RESULTS

Currently, MR brain morphometry allows measurement of cortical volume and thickness, surface area and depth of furrows, as well as analysis of cortical tortuosity and fractal changes. In neurosurgical epileptology, MR-morphometry has the greatest diagnostic value in MR-negative epilepsy. This method simplifies preoperative diagnosis and reduces costs.

CONCLUSION

Morphometry in neurosurgical epileptology is an additional method for verifying the epileptogenic zone. Automated programs simplify application of this method.
