Other characteristics and risk factors were not significant differences between patients with normal or abnormal MRI or EEG findings. In patients with abnormal EEG, seizure was more frequent than patients with normal EEG (50.8% vs. Abnormal MRI in men patients was significantly more frequent than women (31.2% vs. Patients with abnormal MRI were significantly older than those with normal MRI (37.3 vs. MRI finding in 51 patients (25.6%) was abnormal, and EEG finding in 124 patients (62.3%) was abnormal. The most frequent type of seizures was generalized. History of seizures and trauma are reported in 84 (42.2%) and 47 (23.6%) of patients, respectively. The characteristic data and risk factors in patients with normal MRI and EEG were compared with those patients with abnormal MRI and EEG. MRI and EEG findings were recorded as normal or abnormal. The completed files of 199 patients were assessed to collect information about characteristic data and MRI and EEG findings.
In this cross-sectional study, all patients with epilepsy who referred between March 2016 and March 2017 to Al-Zahra and Kashani Hospitals in Isfahan, Iran, were enrolled. The present study is aimed to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) findings based on characteristics variables in patients with epilepsy.
