Abstract

Background: It is crucial to understand the etiopathogenesis of seizure disorder in order to plan and carry out effective treatment. However, in many instances, no lesion of any kind could be shown.
Aims & objectives: to analyse the CT scan features in patients with seizure disorders and classify the lesion's type.
Materials and methods: This study involved 100 patients who visited the radiology department of a medical college in central India with seizure disorders.
Observations and Results: In 45% of the cases when a cranial CT scan was analysed, it revealed normal findings, and in 55% of the cases, abnormal findings. Infectious, post-infectious, neoplastic, cerebrovascular disease, congenital lesions, traumatic lesions, post-traumatic sequela, tuberculous infection, and neurocysticercosis were the different categories for CT scan abnormalities. A frequent neurological condition with numerous etiologies is seizure disorder. An important diagnostic and predictive technique in the assessment of patients with seizure disorders is neuro imaging. In emergency cases, a CT scan is frequently the first course of action. An affordable diagnostic tool for poor nations with limited resources is the CT scan.
 Conclusion: CT scanning is a helpful diagnostic tool in the assessment and treatment of patients with seizure disorders.
Keywords: brain, cranial, CT scan, seizure.
