Childhood epilepsy "A correlative study of clinical, electroencephalography and computed tomography"

ABSTRACT

This work was carried out on 100 epileptic children. Clinical examination and EEG record were done for all patients while CT examination was done for only 42 patients. Correlative study between the above mentioned three methods was done and we found out that; CT yielded the highest incidence of abnormal findings among children presented with neurological deficits and in those with focal persistant EEG changes. It follows, that the three methods are complementery in the diagnostic work up of children with seizure disorders
