Abstract

Objective: To investigate the pattern and severity of hippocampal subfield volume loss in patients with left and right mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) using quantitative MRI volumetric analysis. Methods: A total of 21 left and 14 right mTLE subjects, as well as 15 healthy controls, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. A publically available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain volumetry system (volBrain) was used for volumetric analysis of hippocampal subfields. The T1-weighted images were processed with a HIPS pipeline. Results: A distinct pattern of hippocampal subfield atrophy was found between left and right mTLE patients when compared with controls. Patients with left mTLE exhibited ipsilateral hippocampal atrophy and segmental volume depletion of the Cornu Ammonis (CA) 2/CA3, CA4/dentate gyrus (DG), and strata radiatum-lacunosum-moleculare (SR-SL-SM). Those with right mTLE exhibited similar ipsilateral hippocampal atrophy but with additional segmental CA1 volume depletion. More extensive bilateral subfield volume loss was apparent with right mTLE patients. Conclusion: We demonstrate that left and right mTLE patients show a dissimilar pattern of hippocampal subfield atrophy, suggesting the pathophysiology of epileptogenesis in left and right mTLE to be different. © 2020, Fondazione Societa Italiana di Neurologia.
