Temporary and permanent magnetic resonance imaging findings in status epilepticus: Case series [Status epileptikusta geçici ve kalıcı manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları: Olgu serisi]

Acute periictal imaging abnormalities caused by status epilepticus (se) have been reported in recent years. in this study,periictal magnetic resonance imaging (mri) changes,follow-up mris and electroencephalographic (eeg) features (e.g. periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges [pleds]) of 4 patients with se were discussed. diffusion restriction was the most common periictal mri change (4/4) and it tended to resolve (3/4). permanent mri changes were seen in two patients. patients with se and periictal mri changes mostly had pleds in eeg (3/4) and poor outcomes (3/4). © 2016,ege university press. all rights reserved.
