Helen A2 - Arzimanoglou, Alexis PY - 2017 T2 - Pediatric Epilepsy AB - For any doctor looking after children with epilepsy, an essential skill is interpretation of the MRI. But, even in centers of imaging excellence, accurate clinical and EEG data are required to enable interpretation of an MRI abnormality or, alternatively, to allow a focused search for the common subtle abnormalities that may underlie symptomatic epilepsy. Brain imaging has become an essential part of the evaluation of most children with epilepsy. Yet, MRI has not taken over from the clinical basics. The pillars of a thorough evaluation of a child with seizures still remain; a good clinical assessment (detailed history and physical examination) supplemented by an interictal EEG.
