The imaging of epilepsy

Based on the experience of a university neurological epilepsy center, the neurological classification and the gradation of neurological evaluation of patients with epilepsy are described. Into this the nature and the significance of the imaging of the brain are interwoven. The object, illustrated by several illustrative patients, is to stress the importance of the MRI and to note that based on the MRI findings and the clinical findings, the battery of sophisticated electroencephalographic evaluation is determined. Epilepsy is an area where imaging and all aspects of the clinical neurological evaluation integrate very well and in which correlation is most important.
