Structural brain network analysis in occipital lobe epilepsy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to analyze the structural brain network in patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) and investigate the differences in structural brain networks between patients with OLE and healthy controls.

Methods

Patients with OLE and healthy controls with normal brain MRI findings were enrolled. They underwent diffusion tensor imaging using a 3.0T MRI scanner, and we computed the network measures of global and local structural networks in patients with OLE and healthy controls using the DSI studio program. We compared network measures between the groups.

Results

We enrolled 23 patients with OLE and 42 healthy controls. There were significant differences in the global structural network between patients with OLE and healthy controls. The assortativi
