Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, with an incidence of about 50 new cases per 100,000
people annually. The diagnosis, management, and direction of the therapy of pediatric epilepsy are significantly
influenced by recent advancements in neuroimaging. Further aiding in the location of the epileptogenic foci and
directing potential surgical management of intractable/refractory epilepsy where required, functional neuroimaging
provides additional information and may show abnormalities even in cases where MRI was normal.5 Neuroimaging
identifies numerous focal lesions/pathologies that cause epilepsy. Even in low risk groups, neuroimaging yields high
results.This study aims to analyze the spectrum of MRI findings in pediatric patients presenting with epilepsy to tertiary
care hospital,GGH,Kurnool
