The examination was performed with a 1.5T magnet. One hundred twenty-five patients (42.7%) showed abnormal findings, and the incidence in each group was as follows: (1) Idiopathic epilepsy: The rate of abnormal findings in the ILRE and IGE groups was 21.8% and 20.7%, respectively. Most of the abnormal findings were secondary changes, such as diffuse or localized brain atrophy. Of the congenital abnormalities, the main finding was arachnoid cyst. (2) Symptomatic epilepsy: The rate of abnormality in the SLRE patients was 88.2%, and 85% of the findings were secondary changes, i.e., brain atrophy, or degeneration of the white matter. In the SGE group, the rate was 77.4%, with an almost equal percentage of congenital and secondary changes. Of 255 patients who were examined by electroencephalography (EEG) on the same day as MRI, about 50%showed a correlation between the EEG records and the MRI abnormalities. However, only 8 patients showed a correlation in localization between the EEG and MRI abnormalities.}, pages = {E52--E58}, title = {小児てんかん患者の頭部MRI所見(<特集>小児科学教室大澤真木子教授開講5周年記念)}, volume = {70}, year = {2000} }
