CLINICAL AND IMAGING PROFILES OF SEIZURE DISORDERS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Background: Seizure disorders encompass a spectrum of neurological conditions characterized by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Accurate diagnosis and management require a comprehensive understanding of their clinical and imaging profiles.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records and imaging data was conducted for 250 patients diagnosed with seizure disorders. Demographic information, clinical presentations, EEG findings, and neuroimaging results were collected and analysed.
Results & Observations: Generalized tonic-clonic seizures were the most common seizure type (48%), with EEG abnormalities detected in 68% of patients, predominantly focal slowing (36%). Neuroimaging abnormalities were identified in 54% of cases, with hippocampal sclerosis being the most prevalent (24%). These findings underscore the heterogeneity of seizure disorders and highlight the utility of EEG and neuroimaging in diagnosis.
Conclusion: This retrospective study provides insights into the clinical and imaging profiles of seizure disorders, emphasizing the importance of integrated diagnostic approaches. By elucidating the diverse manifestations and underlying etiologies of seizure disorders, this research informs personalized treatment strategies and enhances patient outcomes.
