Imaging the Patient with Epilepsy or Seizures

Neuroimaging plays an ever-increasing role in the workup of patients presenting with seizures, epilepsy, and, in particular in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Abnormalities that may be amenable to surgery can be present in the latter group in up to 80% and thus the radiologist plays an important role in the interdisciplinary management of this patient population. In the current article, we are describing imaging protocols as well as typical pathologies and their imaging correlated to raise awareness of the spectrum of disorders typically encountered.
