A prospective study of Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities in patients with cluster of seizures and status epilepticus

Highlights • We conducted a prospective study over 2 years period • Thirty Patients with status epilepticus and cluster of seizures are included • Diffusion weighted imaging was done in 24 hours after the end of last seizure. • The incidence of Periictal diffusion weighted imaging abnormmalities is...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • We conducted a prospective study over 2 years period • Thirty Patients with status epilepticus and cluster of seizures are included • Diffusion weighted imaging was done in 24 hours after the end of last seizure. • The incidence of Periictal diffusion weighted imaging abnormmalities is 66%. • The duration of sezures/status strongly correlated with the imaging abnormality.
