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]
