Purpose:To correlate the interictal spike field and region of seizure onset with the distribution of1H‐MRS abnormalities in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and improve our understanding of the clinical significance of1H‐MRS abnormalities.Methods:Scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) results were correlated in 31 consecutive patients with TLE.Results:Lateralized1H‐MRS–based hippocampal abnormalities were recorded in 95% of the patients with unilateral interictal spikes, with a high degree of concordance for the lateralization side (90%). In 64% of the patients with normal or bilateral interictal EEG spikes,1H‐MRS provided lateralizing information. Bilateral1H‐MRS abnormalities, with or without lateralization, were 3 times more frequent than bitemporal EEG spikes. Anterior predominance of the1H‐MRS abnormalities was more frequent in patients with anterior temporal EEG spiking (50%), than in patients without this EEG distribution (18%). Similar association was noted between distribution of1H‐MRS abnormalities and region of EEG seizure onset.Conclusions:Our results show a moderate level of concordance between the distribution of1H‐MRS and EEG abnormalities.1H‐MRS identifies abnormalities contralateral to the predominant seizure focus more often than does EEG and may provide lateralizing information in patients with nonlateralizing interictal EEG.
