Abstract:
Evaluation of seizure disorders revealed the important role of CT in establishing an etiologic diagnosis. The authors analized 207 patients who were checked at Seoul National University Hospital from October, 1977 to August, 1980. Over half of the cases were of normal findings(58%). The most frequent lesion was atrophic changes of the brain(16.4%). Other abnormalities were parasitic lesions, vascular anomalies, brain tumors, infarctions, porencephalic cysts, etc. There were higher rates of positive findings in focal seizures, and in patients with a short history of seizure disorders, and in patients of older age over 40.
