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 high-frequency activity (HFA) in the brain can help identify neonates (newborns) with seizures and predict their risk of developing epilepsy later on.
This study looked at seizures in children and teenagers with high-grade gliomas, a type of brain tumor.
This study focused on people in Martinique who experienced status epilepticus (SE), a serious condition where seizures last too long or occur repeatedly without recovery.
A study was conducted to understand the characteristics and treatment outcomes of epilepsy related to the NPRL3 gene.
Researchers studied how brain activity changes during sleep by looking at a specific type of electrical signal called aperiodic activity.
Researchers studied a new method for detecting infantile spasms (IS), a serious type of epilepsy that occurs in young children.
A recent study looked at how doctors in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland treat a serious condition called status epilepticus (SE), which is a prolonged seizure that can be life-threatening.
Researchers studied how to improve surgical strategies for patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) using a method called stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG).
Researchers studied the effectiveness of a new device called point-of-care electroencephalogram (POC-EEG) in emergency departments and hospitals.
