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.

This retrospective, single-center study examined the genetics of complex febrile seizures in 233 children ages 6 months to 6 years at Wuhan Children’s Hospital in China.
This study looked at post-stroke epilepsy, defined here as one or more seizures occurring more than 7 days after a stroke.
This paper is a topical review, not a new experiment.

Researchers studied 3 families with epilepsy from a highly consanguineous population.
This paper was a systematic review, which means the authors searched past medical reports and retrospective case series to look for patterns.
This study tested ES-481, a new add-on anti-seizure medicine, in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.
This paper describes the Urgent Epileptic Seizures Care Process in the Community of Madrid for severe epileptic seizures, also called the “Seizure Code.” It is intended for both children and adults.
