Abstract

Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 antibodies (anti-GAD65) have been found in patients with late-onset chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). No prior neuroimaging studies have addressed how they affect hippocampal volume and shape and how they relate to cognitive abnormalities. We aimed to investigate both brain structure and function in patients with isolated TLE and high anti-GAD65 levels (RIA ≥ 2000 U/ml) compared to 8 non-immune mesial TLE (niTLE) and 8 healthy controls (HC). Hippocampal subfield volume properties were correlated with the duration of the disease and cognitive test scores. The affected hippocampus of GAD-TLE patients showed no volume changes to matched HC whereas niTLE volumes were significantly smaller. Epilepsy duration in GAD-TLE patients correlated negatively with volumes in the presubiculum, subiculum, CA1, CA2-3, CA4, molecular layer and granule cell-molecular layer of the dentate nucleus. We found differences by advanced vertex-wise shape analysis in the anterior hippocampus of the left GAD-TLE compared to HC whereas left niTLE showed bilateral posterior hippocampus deformation. Verbal deficits were similar in GAD-TLE and niTLE but did not correlate to volume changes. These data might suggest a distinct expression of hippocampal structural and functional abnormalities based on the immune response.
