MRI Findings of Flair Sequence in Epileptic Patients

خلاصه انگلیسی

Background/Objective: MRI FLAIR sequence has good results in comparison with MRI standard se-quences. We decided to study the findings of the epi-leptic patients in FLAIR sequence of MRI. Patients and Methods: 104 patients with the history of previous seizure were studied. The brain MRI in these patients was performed at T1, T2, PD, and FLAIR sequences. Result: In our study, 63.47% of patients had abnormal MRI findings. Space occupying lesions were seen in 24%, brain vascular lesion in 16.35%, hippocampal sclerosis in 6.73%, brain degenerative lesion in 3.85%, sequel of old lesion in 6.73%, brain develop-mental malformation in 1.92%, and other lesions in 3.85%. Conclusion: FLAIR sequence of MRI has good results in comparison with standard MRI sequences in rec-ognizing the cerebral lesions at epileptic patients, es-pecially in low grade tumors. Seizure is one of the common demonstrations of these tumors. FLAIR se-quence is also a challenge on subtle localization re-covery, temporal lobe epilepsy.
