Résumé

Cortical intracerebral electrical stimulation is an important tool for language mapping in the presurgical work-up of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Language mapping with stereo-electroencephalography (EEG) is usually performed by high-frequency stimulations (HFS: 50 Hz), whereas low-frequency stimulations (LFS: 1 Hz) are usually considered useful for primary cortices mapping. Little is known in literature about "intermediate" frequencies (IFS: 6-15 Hz). Our objective is to explore the clinical usefulness of IFS in language mapping and identify factors, beyond the electrical parameters, that impact the mapping. We studied 23 patients submitted to stereo-EEG for presurgical evaluation. Language mapping was performed in the anterior, posterior and/or basal language region of the dominant hemisphere for language. We included all contact positions within these regions stimulated by HFS (50 Hz, 5 s, 1-3 mA) and IFS (6-15 Hz, 15 s, 5 mA). We compared the capability of both stimulation methods to induce a language deficit without afterdischarges (ADs), and we analyzed factors related to clinical examination, region, and stimulation technique by multivariate analysis. A total of 211 stimulations (98 HFS, 113 IFS) in 70 cortical sites within the anterior (84 stimulations), posterior (137), and basal language region (60) were included. IFS induced more frequently language deficits not associated to AD compared to HFS (37.1% vs 25.7%, p = .0043), whereas HFS provoked more diffuse AD (34.7% vs 15.0%, p = .001). Investigating multiple language functions increased the probability of revealing a deficit (odds ratio [OR] 3.16, p = .0016), independently of the stimulation method. IFS are valuable for language mapping, thereby improving the probability of inducing a clinical deficit not accompanied by an AD. The completeness of the clinical examination independently affects the sensitivity of the mapping. IFS are a new tool with potential usefulness for the cortical mapping of other associative cortical regions.
