ABSTRACT
One hundred and three children with seizure disorder were studied. Plain radiograph skull was normal in all the cases. CT scan skull done in 34 patients, showed abnormalities in 24 cases. More than 80% children in partial seizures group had treatable lesions on CT scans, mainly CNS tuberculoma. The need for omitting plain radiograph skull as a routine investigation for epilepsy cases is emphasized.
