We aimed to evaluate the clinical value of gamma oscillations in MEG for intractable neocortical epilepsy patients with cortical dysplasia by comparing gamma and interictal spike events. A retrospective analysis of MEG recordings of 30 adult neocortical epilepsy patients was performed. Gamma(30-70Hz) and interictal spike events were independently identified, their independent or concurrent presence determined, and their source localization rates compared. Of 30 patients, gamma activities were detected in 28 patients and interictal spikes in 24 patients. Gamma events alone appeared in 5 patients, interictal spikes alone in 1 patient, and no events in 1 patient. Gamma co-occurred with interictal spikes in 20.1 +/- 22.1% and interictal spikes co-occurred with gamma in 15.0 +/- 19.2%. Rates of event localization within the resection cavity were significantly different (p=0.042) between gamma (63.3 +/- 32.6%) and interictal spike (47.0 +/- 41.3%) events. In 4 of the 5 gamma-only patients the mean localization rate was 42.5%. Compared with the interictal spike localization rate, 4 of 9 seizure-free patients had higher gamma localization rates, 4 had the same rate, and 1 had a lower rate. Individual gamma events can be detected independently from interictal spike presence. Gamma can be localized to the resection cavity at least comparably to or more frequently than that from interictal spikes. Even when interictal spikes were undetected, gamma sources were localized to the resection cavity. Gamma oscillations may be a useful indicator of epileptogenic focus. (C) 2013 The Authors.
