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.
