Abstract
A seizure is a paroxysmal alteration in neurological function resulting from abnormal excessive neuronal electrical activity(1)
Electroencephalograph and neurosonogram are often the initial diagnostic workup for seizure activity. They have the benets of being noninvasive and avoiding radiation exposure. Computed tomography is helpful in detection of calcic foci; however, it has the risk of radiation
exposure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice due to its ability to depict neuroanatomy, excellent gray white
matter differentiation, status of myelination and detection of focal structural brain lesions(2).
