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 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.
This study analyzed medical records from 180 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who were hospitalized at a pediatric neurology center in Katowice, Poland.
This study looked at how paroxysmal events appear in children and young people, and whether certain visible features may be more common in epileptic or non-epileptic events.
This paper was a review of reviews.
Researchers built and tested a computer program called GATEZ that uses structural MRI scans to rank small brain areas that might be related to the part of the brain removed during epilepsy surgery.
Researchers developed and tested a computer program called ResectVol DL that automatically outlines the cavity left after epilepsy surgery on postoperative MRI scans.
This study looked at whether early brain tests could help identify which babies might later develop epilepsy after a neonatal stroke.
This study looked at whether clinicians could recognize infantile epileptic spasms from smartphone videos, and whether a short teaching session plus clinical history would improve accuracy.
