Seizure Semiology and Imaging Correlation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Seizure is defined as paroxysmal event due to abnormal excessive hyper synchronus discharges from an aggregate of CNS neurons. Although variety of factors influence the incidence and prevalence of seizure, approximately 5-10% of population will have at least one seizure during their lifetime. This study is done to evaluate etiology of seizures, identification and localization of intracranial pathologies and correlation with CT scan. In our study58% had generalized seizures and 42% had partial seizures. Overall CT scan was abnormal in 48% of patients, 37.5% of generalized seizure group and 62.5% of partial seizure group patients. Majority of cases of generalized seizures were idiopathic.• Tuberculoma was the most common cause of partial seizure. With a reliable history and clinical examination, if proper analysis of etiology is made with available investigations, the epilepsy can be treated accordingly, thus reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with it.
