Key findings on MRI and CT during complex partial status epilepticus
| Technique | Findings in affected hemisphere |
|---|---|
| Numbers in parentheses indicate how many patients in this series exhibited the finding. | |
| DWI = diffusion-weighted MRI; ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient. | |
| CT | Area of decreased attenuation (3/3) |
| Effacement of sulci (3/3) | |
| Loss of gray-white differentiation (3/3) | |
| T2-weighted MRI | Cortical hyperintensity (3/3) |
| Moderate widening of the cortex (3/3) | |
| Thalamic hyperintensity (2/3) | |
| Postcontrast MRI | Leptomeningeal enhancement (2/2) |
| DWI | Cortical hyperintensity (3/3) |
| ADC-map | Cortical hypointensity (3/3) |
| MR angiography | Increased signal in the MCA and MCA branches (3/3) |
