Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and clinical finding in Diagnosing of Epilepsy

Abstract

This study forEvaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and clinical finding in Diagnosing Epilepsy It was carried out in magnetic resonance imaging department in alzaytouna specialist hospital in Khartoum, where 100 samples were collected randomly from male, female patients of different age's groupsto determine the most age group affected by seizures diagnosing by MRI ,to determine the underlying cause of epilepsy, To correlate the different pathology caused epilepsy with the clinical findings. 100 participants had undergone brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Toshiba machine 1.5 tesla by using ahead coil (phased array coil). Clinical information of seizures findings were conducted verbally from participants by using questionnaires before (MRI) exam. The magnetic resonance finding of every participant was correlated with clinical finding which were gathered through questionnaire. The researcher used power point excels for analysis of the data. The researcher found that seizures caused by multiple disease and different clinical signs in differ age group diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging for example; The age group≥15 was the maximum group affected by atrophy and meningio-encephalitis with different severity by clinical signs of convulsion,fever,super,hypoxia,non walking, vertigo and headache . The age group ≤31 was the maximum age group affected by stroke with clinical signs of convulsion.
