Figure

  • Fig. 1 Ictal EEG and brain SPECT. A: Ictal EEG shows focal rhythmic epileptic discharges over the left frontotemporal area. B: Ictal brain SPECT shows focal hyperperfusion at left precentral gyrus (arrows) and middle and inferior frontal gyri (arrowheads). EEG: electroencephalography, SPECT: single-photon emission computed tomography.
