Title

Cerebral Lesions Diagnosed by Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) Imaging in Epileptic Patients

English Abstract

The purpose of this study was to illustrate the spectrum of cerebral lesions diagnosed by Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) imaging in patients with epilepsy. A retrospective study was conducted on 104 patients with epilepsy who had undergone brain MRI with fluid attenuated inversion recovery sequence at the MRI center of Sheikholraiis clinic, Tabriz, Iran. Abnormalities scans were acquired in 66(63.5%) patients. Space Occupying Tumors (SOT) was detected in 25(24%) patients, Vascular Malformations (VM) in 17(16.35%) patients, hippocampal sclerosis in 7(6.8%) patients, Scars of Old Lesions (SOL) in 7(6.8%) patients, multiple sclerosis in 4(3.85%) patients, malformations of cortical development in 2(1.9%) patients and other in 4(3.85%) patients. The most frequent lesions were Space Occupying Tumors (SOT), followed, in decreasing order by Vascular Malformations (VM) and Hippocampal Sclerosis (HS). The most common tumors were low-grade gliomas.
