ROLE OF CROSS SECTIONAL IMAGING. OF THE BRAIN IN PAEDIATRIC EPILEPSY

Mootaz M A1ontasser Mahmoud Montasser;

Abstract


Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent (two or more) epileptic seizures which are unprovoked by any immediate identifiable cause. It is either generalized or focal. Regarding its aetiology, it may be of known cause (symptomatic or secondary), idiopathic (primary) with unknown cause or cryptogenic (presumed to be symptomatic, but the aetiology is not known).


Neuroimaging in paediatric epilepsy aims to localize the possible origin of seizures. The present _study was conducted on the first 50 consecutive epileptic children referred from Alexandria University Children's Hospital (El-Shatby) to the Radiodiagnosis Department of the Main University Hospital for cross sectional imaging of the brain during the period from May to December 1998. Their ages ranged from four months to 12 years.
