Identifying spatio-temporal seizure propagation patterns in epilepsy using Bayesian inference

Résumé

Focal drug resistant epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by seizures caused by abnormal activity originating in one or more regions together called as epileptogenic zone. Treatment for such patients involves surgical resection of affected regions. Epileptogenic zone is typically identified using stereotactic EEG recordings from the electrodes implanted into the patient's brain. Identifying the epileptogenic zone is a challenging problem due to the spatial sparsity of electrode implantation. We propose a probabilistic hierarchical model of seizure propagation patterns, based on a phenomenological model of seizure dynamics called Epileptor. Using Bayesian inference, the Epileptor model is optimized to build patient specific virtual models that best fit to the log power of intracranial recordings. First, accuracy of the model predictions and identifiability of the model are investigated using synthetic data. Then, model predictions are evaluated against a retrospective patient cohort of 25 patients with varying surgical outcomes. In the patients who are seizure free after surgery, model predictions showed good match with the clinical hypothesis. In patients where surgery failed to achieve seizure freedom model predictions showed a strong mismatch. Our results demonstrate that proposed probabilistic model could be a valuable tool to aid the clinicians in identifying the seizure focus.
