A Case of ReVersible MRI and SPECT Abnormalities in the Neocortex of the Temporal and Parietal Lobes after a Generalized Seizure

ABSTRACT

We report a case with reVersible temporal and parietal neocortical abnormalities detected by MRI and SPECT following a brief seizure. Post ictal MRI abnormalities may indicate an underlying structural abnormality, but may also occur in non-lesional epilepsy and represent a transient physiologic change induced by ictal activity.
