Overview
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Findings on MRI suggestive epileptic seizure include: Mesial temporal sclerosis, sequelae of head injury, congenital anomalies, brain tumors, cysticercosis, vascular lesions, strokes, cerebral degeneration and neoplasms.
MRI
- MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Findings on MRI suggestive epileptic seizure include:
- Mesial temporal sclerosis
- Sequelae of head injury
- Congenital anomalies
- Brain tumors
- Cysticercosis
- Vascular lesions
- Strokes
- Cerebral degeneration
- Neoplasms
NOTE: About 50 percent of epileptic patients have normal MRI.[1]
