is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent seizures unprovoked by an acute systemic or neurologic insult.1 An epileptic seizure MRI remains the first line investigation for diagnosing and evaluation Intracranial space occupy-ing lesion with a reasonable degree of diagnostic accuracy and with the advent of newer modifications of MRI such as MR Patients presented with seizures of varying duration, malformations (2%); meningioma (3%); other miscellaneous, temporal lobes. Several treatment modalities have been reported including intravitreal, Computerized tomography (CT) was used to study the pathways of oedema spreading in man. MRS showed choline peak i. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects many systems in the body. seizures and temporal lobe seizures. All cases of young and adult onset epilepsy in tropical countries should be investigated for neurocysticercosis. They were followed up clinically for 3 months and neuroimaging study was repeated 3 months after albendazole therapy. 21 Tein RD, Felsberg GJ, de Castro CC, et al. Superior sagittal sinus thrombos. The findings among women with breast cancer who underwent breast MRI as part of the preoperative evaluation were retrospectively compared with the results for women who did not undergo breast MRI. Mean age of 29.62 ± 9.08 years. The MRI and MRS examinations were performed in all the patients in one session. To evaluate the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in partial seizures and to correlate the MRI findings with EEG (Electroencephalogram) Materials and methods The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital attached with a teaching institute over a 2 year period. Link , Google Scholar He improved rapidly following prompt anticoagulation. May 2015;44(5):8-19. Neuroimaging was normal in 8.7% of patients. Epilepsy Behav 2006; 8:91. Role of MRI in evaluation of seizures. RESULT Williams and Wilikins; 2009.p. (MRI) in the evaluation of children with seizures.1 MRI is widely used as a tool for the evaluation of children with seizures.2-4 The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), moreover, included MRI in the consensus guidelines Male:female ratio was 2.07. For out-door pollution and risk of brain tumour, results of large prospective studies are contradictory. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain and spine, 4 th edition. IAIM, 2018; 5(12): 102-110. A total of 100 patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Commonest site of lesion was parietal lobe (45%). Epilepsy Imaging: Approaches and protocols. Thirty-seven (92.5%) patients were free of seizures at the end of 3 months. : Epilepsy Imaging: Approaches and MRI has superior resolution in delineation of brain anatomy and higher diagnostic yield for epileptogenic lesions. The patient received 6 intravitreal injections of aflibercept in a period of 9 months in order to treat macular edema and radiation retinopathy. MRI is also the investigation of choice in the neurodiagnostic workup of recurrent unprovoked seizures, known as epilepsy, for both adults and children. The main aim of the study was to determine the frequency of cerebral atrophy in type-II diabetes mellitus using magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. We report a case of a 42 year old Nepali man diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis after presenting with a week long history of continuous headache. Patients with simple partial seizures The role of FDG-PET, ictal SPECT, and MEG in the epilepsy surgery evaluation. 84 patients (88.4%) had positive findings on MRI while 11 patients (11.6%) had normal MRI with no the age Evaluation of The Role and Utility of Neuroimaging In New Onset Seizures Presenting To The Emergency Department Lalit Kumar 1 , Vipin Kumar 2 , Hardeep Singh Gill 3 *, G Avasthi 4 , Gagandeep Singh 5 , Rajesh Mahajan 2 Table 1. ResearchGate has not been able to resolve any citations for this publication. Based on the assumption that local changes in CT numbers in oedematous white matter closely correspond to changes in tissue water content, CT numbers of consecutive tissue blocks of 3.0-3.6 mm were examined in the main directions of oedema spreading: towards the deep white matter, towards the cortex and, Adult primary tumors of the central nervous system are rare, but the incidence is increased in some European countries. An interesting finding was disappearing lesion in 6 children. Post-stroke seizure and post-stroke epilepsy are common causes of hospital admissions, either as a presenting feature or as a complication after a stroke. The Role of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging and Dedicated MRI Protocols in the Diagnostic Evaluation of Patients with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy, Arch Neurosci. Applied radiology. MRI Most studies of the role of MRI in seizures and epilepsy to date have focused on the evaluation of patients with intractable seizures. •MRI is highly From the 40 patients included in our study, 16 patients had tendon injuries. Tumours with oedema grade II and III showed a reduction of CT number of 10 +/- 1.8. Our purpose is to present a case report of bilateral radiation retinopathy with macular edema in one eye that was revealed 6 years after glioma therapy and treated successfully by using monotherapy of aflibercept. Conclusion: Although CT scan is more easily available Conclusion: Although CT scan is more easily available and has shorter scan time, MRI is superior in the diagnosis of most of the pathologies. Eighty one cases (54%) who primarily presented as epilepsy without any neurological deficit have been analysed in detail. However it has limited role in evaluation of patients with intractable epilepsy. 98.57 %. The sensitivity of MRI in detecting abnormalities in patients (3%). Materials and methods: A prospective study of OPD or IPD patients who underwent imaging tests like Ultrasonography, or CT scan for suspected chronic liver disease was done. Radiology 1993 ; 189:835-842. Patients were divided into neurocysticercosis and non-neurocysticercosis groups according to previous diagnostic criteria. Infantile seizures are usually brief, but commonly recurrent, and strong consideration should be made for inpatient observation. generalized seizures, 21 patients (22.1%) presented with focal seizures while 11 patients (11.6%) had an unknown onset. These data suggest that neurocysticercosis is an uncommon cause of intractable epilepsy, even in an endemic region such as Brazil, and that it may only represent a coexistent pathology. © 2008-2021 ResearchGate GmbH. The new larvicidal drugs offer a potential cure and cysticercosis should be entertained as a cause of epilepsy especially in endemic areas. Applied radiology. primary central nervous system tumors and ionizing radiation, some toxic agents (N-nitroso compounds, pesticides), air pollution, and radiofrequency electromagnetic waves. Calcifications were found in 27% of patients and were significantly more common in patients with MTS than in those without MTS (p<0.001). Microcephaly, developmental delay and tone abnormalities were common clinical findings. Fundoscopy and fluorescein angiography revealed severe non-proliferative retinopathy in his right eye and proliferative retinopathy in his left eye with macular edema. Cinical history, physical examination and neuroimaging [computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] studies were done at the beginning. Pre-surgical identification of epileptogenic areas in temporal lobe epilepsy by 123I-iomazenil SPECT: a … 307-39. In our study, the majority were male patients (60%). A total of 512 patients evaluated at the outpatient clinic for intractable epilepsy at the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine were included in the survey. Hippocampal atrophy predominates as seizures are … Results: Definitive cases were 28 (70%) and probable cases were 12 (30%). The EEG and magnetic resonance imaging findings were correlated with postoperative histopathological findings in cases where required. Role of MRI Laurens De Cocker, Felice D'Arco and Philippe Demaerel and Robin Smithuis Publicationdate 2012-09-01 In many patients with epilepsy antiepileptic drug treatment is unable to control the seizures. The commonest presentation was seizures in 38 (95%); 29 (72.5%) patients had a single lesion and 11 (27.5%) had multiple lesions in initial imaging study. The study revealed tuberculoma as the commonest lesion in this series (n = 64) followed by cysticercosis (n = 27). Conclusions: Neurocysticercosis usually affects young persons, mostly in the third decade, being equally common among vegetarians. MR imaging plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of patients with seizures. Evan's index, a specific parameter for measurement of cerebral atrophy was calculated on MR images and was used in this study. MRI can non-invasively localize and characterize structural abnormalities which may be the causing the seizures, without using ionizing radiation. When we study the overall population the frequency was found to be 45 (45%). To test the hypothesis that the aetiological profile of patients with intractable epilepsy in Brazil includes neurocysticercosis, we conducted a cross sectional study investigating the aetiology of intractable epilepsy. 50 successive patients in whom the clinical diagnosis of partial seizure had been made formed the selection group for doing MRI. Accurate diagnosis of the cause of seizure is crucial for finding an effective treatment. One hundred diabetic patients (Random blood sugar >126 mg/dl) were recruited in this study after the informed consent from every patient. Most common clinical manifestation is seizures. The study revealed that the role of imaging in the evaluation of partial seizure is to localize the origin of a focal seizure and identify its cause. excellent inherent soft tissue contrast, multipl, has been a great boon, both for the diagnosis of cerebral, over X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT) scanning, The principal clinical applications of MRI are, the structural basis of epilepsy and patients, who are suitable, techniques, so that patients who were previous, can be identified with contemporary optim, imaging has emerged as the more diagnostically relevant and, Patients presenting with seizures can have.

MRI identifies the role of imaging in Epilepsy in patients. versatile tool in the evaluation of patients with seizure disorder. It has been said that MRI adds sensitivity and specificity in evaluation of seizures. Seizure is a paroxysmal alteration in neurologic function resulting from abnormal excessive neuronal electrical activity. A similar observation was made in the external capsule where oedema sharply declined at the border to the adjacent grey matter, putamen and claustrum. Eight Several environmental exposures have been investigated as potential risk factors, but for most, scientific evidence is still lacking. Three patients were seen to have glioma. Epilepsy. This may be particularly useful for MRI-negative patients with seizures originating in deeper cortical areas, such as orbitofrontal cortex where scalp EEG may not be as accurate . •The structural abnormality often (but not always) correlates with the site of seizure onset. They require appropriate management and support in long term. Cerebral atrophy is one of the complications of diabetes and research is on going to find out its aetiopathological factors. Patients were treated with albendazole, corticosteroids and antiepileptic drugs. Neurocysticercosis is a major cause of epilepsy in developing countries and is endemic in Brazil. MRI has been shown to be highly sensitive and specific in identifying MRI is the preferred imaging method because it has greater sensitivity for detecting abnormalities than CT.7, 16 However, patients with acute seizures initially should undergo CT because it … Status epilepticus was seen in 6 cases.

Complex partial seizures and mesial temporal sclerosis: evaluation with fast spin-echo imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging, done in 8 cases, proved to be more sensitive in demonstrating various stages in the development of noncalcified cysticercosis. This article examines aetiology, clinical presentation, and presents a management outline of these conditions with particular focus on adults. Abstract Introduction: Seizures have been classified in several ways, according to … Several authors highlighted the pr ominent role of DWI in disclo sing TPMA (Kim et al., 2001; Szabo et al., 2005). GTCS was the most common clinical diagnosis constituting Acute imaging with CT can alter management in a small but important number of infants. corticosteroids, intravitreal anti-VEGFs and argon laser photocoagulation. Surface rendering of 3-dimensional MRI datasets can increase the conspicuity of malformations of cortical development without any additional manipulation of the data [32] . with seizure disorder is in part associated to the underlying pathologies and by the MRI techniques and experience of the interpreting Seventy Six Children (0-12 yr) with seizures and CNS malformations based on neuroimaging were included. They were performed at 1.5 T super conducting system. MRI signal abnormalities induced by seizures. Epilepsy was observed in 127 of 150 cases (84.7%) of neurocysticercosis seen over a period of 17 years. One patient showed features of sub-acute, images. Kaneko K, Sasaki M, Morioka T, et al. All the patients underwent EEG study prior to the MRI study, unless it was not indicated. (2): Types 23 patients (32.8%) had joint effuof ligament's injuries diagnosed by MRI. In the pre-CT period the occurrence of epilepsy as a presenting feature in neurocysticercosis was 43.5% whereas in later years it was 61.4%. In these populations, MRI has been shown to have a diagnostic yield ranging from 20% to 64 Vivek Gupta and Richard A Bronen.

Role of MRI in Evaluation of Traumatic Ankle Injuries 2019 Fig. Whenever a patient has had multiple seizures, or if there is a strong clinical suspicion that a seizure is secondary to an underlying brain lesion (and the CT scan is normal), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually warranted. Scott W (eds) Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in space occupying lesions of brain Background: Space occupying lesions of the brain are a common occurrence. Let’s review several examples of brain abnormalities that are difficult—if not impossible—to detect on computed tomography (CT). This study was conducted in a tertiary pediatric epilepsy clinic to ascertain the spectrum of development malformations in children, with seizures. MRI is the Most Useful! However, an analysis of our findings reveals that neurocysticercosis was more common in patients with MTS. The Journal, Editor and the 4, Issue 105 , December 31; Page: 16977 -16983, DOI: 10.14 260/jemds/20 15/2564 INTRODUCTIO N Structural abnormalities were seen in 158 of the 170 patients. Cranial MRI is the most sensitive imaging study for determining the etiology of neonatal seizures, particularly when electrolyte imbalance has been excluded as the seizures… (80%) cases. Observed anomalies included dysgenetic corpus callosum (DCC), lissencephaly, focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), pachygyria, polymicrogyria, heterotopia, schizencephaly, holoprosencephaly, hemimegalencephaly, and phakomatoses like tuberous sclerosis, Sturge Weber syndrome and linear cutaneous nevus syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS The primary objective is to decide the patient's insight. Magnetic resonance imaging The effect of mobile phones on the risk of developing brain tumors has not been established for glioma and meningioma in adults, but the link with acoustic neurinoma is becoming robust. Abnormal MRI was found in 17 (27.0%) patients with partial seizures, 13 (15.8%) patients with generalized seizures, and 1 (10%) patients with CFS. Aims and objectives: To evaluate MRI spectrum of liver lesions in cirrhotic patients, Role of MRI in focal liver lesion evaluation and to differentiate benign versus malignant lesions. editorial board are not entitled or liable to either justify or responsible for inaccurate and misleading data if any. Seizure semiology varied in all categories. Single lesion is more common than multiple lesions, commonly presenting in colloidal stage. Philadelphia, USA: Lippincott With an increasingly ageing population, and age itself being an independent risk factor for stroke, the incidence and prevalence of post-stroke seizure and post-stroke epilepsy is likely to increase. Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Evaluation of Epilepsy. Epilepsy Behav 2006; 8:91. The corresponding increase in water content of about 10-12% seems to be an upper limit of fluid accumulation in the white matter. MRI proved to be an excellent modality in demonstrating and characterising the intracranial lesion. The study revealed that the role of imaging in the evaluation of partial seizure is to localize the origin of a focal seizure and identify its cause. It is assumed that the spatial distribution and extension of oedema around a brain tumour is determined by a system of differential resistance to fluid movement in the following order: grey matter--ventricular lining--white matter. Oedema projection towards the ventricle showed a nearly uniform magnitude from the centre to the ventricular lining, suggesting a certain resistance by a limited capacity of transependymal drainage of oedema fluid. Due to the superior yield, strong consideration for MRI should be given for all infa … Kast, . The results are well in concordance with the previous data published on this issue. The basis of diagnosis was clinical presentation and concomitant evidence of extraneural cysticercosis in the pre-computed tomography (CT) scan era, and typical CT findings in later years. DWI is the most sensitive MRI-sequence in detect ing onset seizures. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis presents a diagnostic challenge due to its varied presentation patterns. Aims: This study was aimed to study the clinical and radiological profile of neurocysticercosis and outcomes of treatment in neurocysticercosis. seizures (3), inherited metabolic disorder, possibly Leigh’s disease (2). protocols. elderly with male predominance, male 64 (64%) and female 36 (36%). Best corrected visual acuity in his right eye was 20/25 and in his left eye 20/100. It can occur secondary to treatment of nasopharyngeal tumors, as well as intraocular tumors, such as uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma. excellent inherent soft tissue contrast, multiplanar imaging capability and lack of ionizing radiation, MR imaging has emerged as a Brain-ionizing irradiation, especially during childhood, constitutes a well-established risk factor for brain tumors. The role of CT perfusion in the evaluation of seizures, the post-ictal state, and status epilepticus Author links open overlay panel James J Gugger Rafael H Llinas Peter W Kaplan Show more Subjects and Methods: Forty patients coming under Definitive or Probable Diagnosis of neurocysticercosis as per the revised diagnostic criteria for neurocysticercosis were included in this study. The characteristic EEG features provided a clue to the diagnosis of anomalies like lissencephaly, agenesis of corpus callosum and alobar holoprosencephaly. The effect of mobile phones has still not been explored in children. Despite thorough investigation no discernable underlying cause could be found. In addition, radiotherapy for glioma is a rather rare cause of radiation retinopathy compared to other more common causes, such as nasopharyngeal tumors, meningiomas, and uveal melanomas. From this oedema centre, water content very slowly and gradually decreased along the oedema projection into the deep white matter. At the end of 3 months, 23 (57.5%) patients had radiological resolution (complete resolution + partial resolution + calcification). is a clinical manifestation of abnormal, excessive neuronal activity arising in the grey matter of the cerebral cortex.

Results MRS was performed in a total of 30 patients. cerebral atrophy (1%), developmental cortical malformations (2%), venous thrombosis (4%), low-grade glioma (9%), meningioma Maksimovic, DO; et al. This finding could suggest either that there is a cause-effect relationship between MTS and neurocysticercosis, or that MTS and neurocysticercosis co-vary with a missing variable, such as socio-economic status. 60.5 percent cases presented in infancy. Shijith Kp, Rajesh Uddandam, Manoj Gopinath, Biju Vasudevan, Dr J Sai Kiran, To evaluate the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in partial seizures and to correlate the MRI findings with EEG (Electroencephalogram). Maximum number of patients were between 6-12 years, males outnumbering females. One hundred and seventy children of chronic seizures with strong clinical suspicion of an underlying intracranial lesion as its cause were studied by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In: Atlas, Cerebral atrophy, a complication of long standing diabetes is quite frequent in our population and is well diagnosed by MRI. Neuroimaging included brain CT with non-contrasted and contrasted phases and high resolution MRI. imaging abnormalities depending upon the etiology. Duration of diabetes was five years and more in all the patients as determined by their glycosylated haemoglobin which was >6 in all the patients.
