This hub covers epilepsy EEG and MRI: how EEGs and brain imaging help doctors understand seizure patterns and possible causes. Clear explanations of common findings and what research suggests.
Yes. EEGs are a snapshot. Some people need repeat EEGs, sleep-deprived EEGs, or long-term monitoring.
Not always. It raises suspicion and risk, but diagnosis still depends on the full story.
To look for structural causes like scars, malformations, tumors, and stroke-related changes, which can guide treatment.
An inpatient or extended study that records EEG and video together to match symptoms to brain activity.
This study looked at how well epilepsy surgery works for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who also have epilepsy.
Researchers studied factors that might predict whether someone will have another seizure after experiencing their first unprovoked seizure.
Researchers studied two methods used to monitor brain activity in people with epilepsy: stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and subdural electrodes (SDE).
This study looked at children with drug-resistant epilepsy, which means their seizures do not respond well to medication.
Researchers studied the effects of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) on cognitive functions and reaction times in people with epilepsy.
Researchers studied two young girls, ages 9 and 10, who experienced seizures triggered by a red-light flashing pen that is popular among children.
Researchers studied how a special type of MRI, called ultra-high field 7T MRI, can improve the way doctors look at and understand epilepsy in children.
A study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of a surgical procedure called hemispherotomy in 23 children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in Panama.
Researchers studied a type of epilepsy called self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) in 192 children.
