-AbstractTwenty-two children(4 months to 17 years old) with a clincial diagnosis of complex partial seizure(CPS) were examined with a 0.5T MRI scanner using spin-echo sequences. Eleven patients showed abnormal brain MRI findings ; two had focallesions with corresponding seizure foci on the EEG, one arising from temporal lobe(Hippocampal Formation atrophy) and the other from the frontallobe . Nine patients showed diffuse lesions with inconsistent seizure foci on EEG. The remaining 11 patients were normal on brain MRI; two of them had normal EEG findings and the others either focal or diffuse abnorma1ities on EEG.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
