The initial MRI scan was normal on visual and quantitative examination. After a further six GTCS, a second MRI scan showed reduced hippocampal volume and increased hippocampal T2 signal, which was confirmed in a third scan. Therefore, hippocampal sclerosis may be acquired in adulthood after brief GTCS. | Gov't Doc #: | 11468318 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9324 | Journal: | Neurology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11468318 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adolescent Epilepsy, Tonic-Clonic.pathology Hippocampus.pathology Humans Magnetic Resonance Imaging Male Sclerosis |
