MRI, Magnetoencephalography, and Surgical Outcome of Oligodendrocytosis versus Focal Cortical Dysplasia Type I
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Abnormalities of oligodendrocytes have been reported in surgical specimens of patients with medically intractable epilepsy. The aim of this study was to compare the MR imaging, magnetoencephalography, and surgical outcome of children with oligodendrocytosis relative to focal cortical dysplasia I. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Oligodendrocytosis included oligodendroglial hyperplasia, oligodendrogliosis, and oligodendroglial-like cells in the white matter, gray matter, or both from children with medically intractable epilepsy. Focal cortical dysplasia I included radial and tangential cortical dyslamination. The MR imaging, magnetoencephalography, type of operation, location, and seizure outcome of oligodendrocytosis, focal cortical dysplasia I, and oligodendrocytosis + focal cortical dysplasia I were compared. RESULTS: Eighteen subjects (39.1%) had oligodendrocytosis, 21 (45.7%) had focal cortical dysplasia I, and 7 (15.2%) had oligodendrocytosis + focal cortical dysplasia I. There were no significant differences in the type of seizures, focal or nonfocal epileptiform discharges, magnetoencephalography, and MR imaging features, including high T1 signal in the cortex, high T2/FLAIR signal in the cortex or subcortical white matter, increased cortical thickness, blurring of the gray-white junction, or abnormal sulcation and gyration among those with oligodendrocytosis, focal cortical dysplasia I, or oligodendrocytosis + focal cortical dysplasia I (P > .01). There were no significant differences in the extent of resection (unilobar versus multilobar versus hemispherectomy), location of the operation (temporal versus extratemporal versus both), or seizure-free outcome of oligodendrocytosis, focal cortical dysplasia I, and oligodendrocytosis + focal cortical dysplasia I (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: Oligodendrocytosis shared MR imaging and magnetoencephalography features with focal cortical dysplasia I, and multilobar resection was frequently required to achieve seizure freedom. In 15% of cases, concurrent oligodendrocytosis and focal cortical dysplasia I were identified. The findings suggest that oligodendrocytosis may represent a mild spectrum of malformations of cortical development.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
