Abstract Background: A seizure is a paroxysmal event due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Depending on the distribution of discharges, this abnormal brain activity can have various manifestations, ranging from dramatic convulsive activity to experiential phenomena not readily discernible by an observer.
Objective: To analyse the spectrum of MRI brain finding in children presenting with seizures. To correlate the MRI findings with clinical/ laboratory findings, whenever applicable.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 105 pediatric patients (<14 years) presenting with seizures. MRI brain was performed using a standardized seizure protocol. Clinical and imaging findings were analyzed and correlated.
Results: MRI abnormalities were detected in 69.5% of patients. The most common etiologies were hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (17.1%), infective lesions (10.5%), and gliosis/encephalomalacia (9.5%). A statistically significant association (p < 0.001) was observed between abnormal clinical findings and MRI abnormalities.
Conclusion: MRI plays a crucial role in identifying structural causes of pediatric seizures, significantly aiding diagnosis and management. It should be considered a first-line imaging modality in children with seizures.
