Background: We aimed to assess the characteristics of thalamic lesions in children with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion.
Methods: Using the Tokai Pediatric Neurology Society database, we identified and enrolled 18 children with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion from 2008 to 2010. Using diffusion-weighted images, we identified patients with thalamic lesions and compared their clinical factors with those of patients without thalamic lesions. We analyzed the time sequence of thalamic, sucortical, and cortical lesions. To study the topography of thalamic lesions, we divided the thalamus into five sections: anterior, medial, anterolateral, posterolateral, and posterior. Subsequently, we analyzed the relationship between the topography of thalamic lesions and the presence of central-sparing.
Results: Seven children presented with symmetrical thalamic lesions associated with bilateral subcortical or cortical lesions. No statistical difference in the clinical features was observed between individuals with and without thalamic lesions. These lesions were observed only when subcortical or cortical lesions were present. In 5 children, thalamic lesions were present in bilateral anterior or anterolateral sections and were associated with subcortical or cortical lesions in bilateral frontal lobes with central-sparing. In the other two children, thalamic lesions were extensive and accompanied by diffuse subcortical and cortical lesions without central-sparing.
Conclusion: Thalamic lesions in patients with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion involve the anterior sections. The thalamocortical network may play a role in development of thalamic lesions in patients with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion.
