ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the results of MRI and electroencephalogram examination and pathological examination of drug refractory epilepsy. Methods 70 cases with drug refractory epilepsy were treated with systemic antiepileptic drugs, but they still could not control their condition, and they were given MRI, EEG and pathological examination respectively. MRI, EEG and pathological findings of 70 cases were recorded, and the conclusion was drawn after statistical analysis. Results Compared with pathological examination, the localization accuracy of MRI for epileptogenic foci and related lesions was 88.57%, the accuracy of localization of EEG for epileptogenic foci and related disease was 51.43%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); MRI examination of the epileptogenic lesions and qualitative accuracy the rate of up to 75.71%. Conclusion According to the patients with drug intractable epilepsy, the coincidence rate of MRI examination and pathological examination is higher. Compared with EEG, it can provide clinicians with more reliable basis for the diagnosis and treatment of drug refractory epilepsy. It is helpful to protect the curative effect of these patients.
