Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the cortex and white matter during complex partial status epilepticus and at follow-up
| Region | Partial status epilepticus | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| ADC values are expressed as mean (×10−6 mm2/s) ± SD. The mean difference between the ADC of the affected hemisphere and the contralateral hemisphere is expressed as a percentage of the ADC in the contralateral hemisphere. | ||
| Paired t-tests were used for analysis. | ||
| * p < 0.05. | ||
| † p < 0.001. | ||

| ADC affected hemisphere | 552 ± 61 | 884 ± 38 |
| ADC contralateral hemisphere | 865 ± 35 | 838 ± 37 |
