“…2 In a first study, we evaluated 300 patients, with late-onset epilepsy, 163 males (54%) and 137 females (46%), the over 60 years were 14.3% (43 cases), and partial crises occurred in 262 patients (87.3%), with a net predominance of secondary generalized partial seizures (in 202 patients) contrary to what was reported by Assadeck et al, they found 43.5% of patients with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. 3 In 132 patients (44%), the etiology of the seizures could not be specified in the remaining 56%-in whom the causal etiology was identified-vascular pathology was found in 58 patients (19.3%), diseases degenerative in 50 cases (16.6%), brain tumors 27 patients (9%), acute head trauma in 23 patients (7.6%), and central nervous system infections, damage perinatal, and toxic-metabolic disorders in 10 patients. 3 In other study, brain computed tomography was undoubtedly an important factor in evaluating patients already that showed alterations in 66.6% (20 patients), what comes to confirm the important role of neuroimaging studies in epilepsy, mainly in epilepsy related to location.…”
