Seizure, CT scan of the brainsAbstract
Retrospective study of the CT scan of the brains of the 931 outpatients who had seizure problems. Fifty five percents showed positive findings. The most common findings of all ages were cysticercosis and the second most common findings were infarction. The third most common lesions were the single mass lesion. Cysticercosis was the most common lesion of the age group 11-40 yrs old, infarct was the most common finding in the age group 41-93 yrs old and brain atrophy was the most common lesion in the age group 0-10 yrs old. The age of the patients ranged from 2 days to 93 yrs old and 75% were 11-60 yrs old. There was a tendency to detect the lesions more in the older ages.
