People with epilepsy (PWE) in low- and middle-income countries may not access the health resources that are considered optimal for epilepsy diagnosis. The diagnostic yield of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been well studied in these settings.To report the diagnostic yield of brain MRI and identify clinical associations of abnormal MRI findings among PWE in a neurocysticercosis-endemic, resource-limited...
In patients suffering from focal epilepsy, the region of seizure onset is characterized by hyperperfusion during the seizure (ictal state), and hypoperfusion in normal (inter-ictal) state. For diagnosis and surgery planning in epilepsy patients, ictal and inter-ictal SPECT images play a major role. However, comparison of this kind of data is a difficult clinical problem due to varying physiological...
Purpose: Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy fluoroglucose positron emission tomography (18-FDG-PET) is widely used in the pre-surgical evaluation of subjects with epilepsy, but little is known of its usefulness in a non-surgical population.Procedures: We analyzed the sensitivity of PET as a diagnostic tool in a large unselected population of epilepsy subjects. Pre-surgical and non-surgical...
