Abstract

 

Seizures disorders are the most prevalent serious neurological disease. Partial seizures are the most common form of seizures in children. This study was carried to determine the etiology and intracranial lesions in children with partial seizures with prospective study through the period of 5 years. One hundred and seventy two children with partial seizures (>2 attacks) were included in the study. All children had contrast CT scan of head and EEG. About 70% of children had their first episode of seizure before 6 years of age. The most common type of seizures was complex partial and the most common lesion on CT scan head was ring enhancing lesion (56.07%). For diagnosis of partial seizures detail history and CT scan head are essential.
