Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To detect a neuronal threshold of tolerance to ischemia, the usefulness of multilobar electrocorticography (mEcoG) during intracranial aneurysm surgery was compared to the scalp EEG and correlated with the postoperative neurological status and the radiological findings. METHODS: Twenty-one patients harboring intracranial aneurysms were monitored by simultaneous scalp EEG and lobe-dependent mEcoG during surgical clipping. The patients were divided into group A (6 patients with no temporary clipping) and group B (15 patients with temporary clipping). RESULTS: New focal modifications of the mEcoG signal with high frequency (HF)-beta3 and delta waves were observed in none of the patients in group A and all of the patients in group B. These anomalies were followed by focal burst suppression pattern in eight cases (53%) in group B. These changes were detected in only two cases (9%) on the scalp EEG. New corticographic changes resolved in eight patients (53%) in group B. Among the seven patients in group B who had persistent focal burst pattern after clip removal, six (85%) presented with new neurological deficit or new hypodensity on CT. The Glasgow Outcome Scale was good (IV or V) in 85% of cases. CONCLUSION: mEcoG is more sensitive than scalp EEG. The appearance and persistence of the focal burst suppression pattern shown on mEcoG, was associated with a new neurological deficit or new hypodensity, whereas HF-beta3 or delta waves per se were not associated with new changes. A better comprehension of these EEG anomalies could determine the duration of temporary clipping and consequently influence the surgical strategy.
