Control | TLE + FC | TLE | |
---|---|---|---|
AIv | 2.32 ± 1.58% | 9.22 ± 6.79% | 6.79 ± 5.73% |
AIs | 8.47 ± 5.08% | 18.10 ± 16.24% | 16.81 ± 10.02% |
Note.—TLE indicates temporal lobe epilepsy; FC, febrile convulsion; AIv, volume asymmetry index; and AIs, spectroscopy asymmetry index. Both AIv and AIs are statistically smaller in Control than TLE + FC and TLE (P < .01 with AIv and P < .05 with AIs). No significant difference exists between TLE + FC and TLE either in AIv or AIs. As to conditions of normal hippocampal volume at both sides in epileptic groups, AIv culls 5/8 and 4/10 in TLE + FC and TLE, respectively. On the other hand, AIs picks out 1/6 and 1/4 of the subjects with bilaterally normal NAA/(Cho + Cr) in TLE + FC and TLE, respectively.
