Co-Relation Of Ct Scan Findings In New Onset Seizure Patients Presenting To Tertiary Care Centreâ€-A Prospective Study From Central India

Abstract

Background: The term seizure is used to describe abnormal, uncontrolled paroxysmal electrical activity of brain, literature 
suggests that about 8 -10% of population may experience at least one episode of seizure. Neuroimaging studies like CT scan 
brain is recommended in adult patients with new onset seizures to determine the underlying cause, structural abnormality, 
and the possibility of recurrence. Because of its capacity to quickly rule out an intracranial haemorrhage or a tumour 
requiring immediate neurosurgical intervention, CT scan remains the first -line imaging technology in most acute care 
settings.
