Co‐existence of idiopathic generalized and focal epilepsy suggested by simultaneous EEG‐fMRI: a case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a rare patient clinically suspected to have mixed idiopathic generalized and focal epilepsy, which was supported by BOLD pattern based on EEG-fMRI. A 37-year-old female with three types of refractory seizures starting at age six - tonic with breathing difficulties and confusion, generalized tonic-clonic, and focal with brief impairment of awareness and versive head movement, initially thought to represent atypical absences - was evaluated by EEG-fMRI. She was also shown to have three types of interictal epileptic discharges: generalized spike or polyspikes and slow waves, and left fronto-temporal and right fronto-temporal discharges. We assessed BOLD activation and deactivation for each type. For generalized patterns, the BOLD activation and deactivation were typical of that seen in primary generalized epilepsy. Whereas maximum activation for left fronto-temporal EEG patterns was observed in the left superior frontal gyrus and posterior superior temporal gyrus, maximum activation for right fronto-temporal patterns was bilateral in the right posterior middle temporal gyrus and left posterior middle temporal gyrus. The EEG-fMRI results suggested that the patient had both refractory idiopathic generalized and focal epilepsy, and not a generalized epilepsy originating from a focus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
