[epilepsy] Re: MRI to diagnose?

 

An MRI can be helpful in diagnosis, but can not by itself be a determining factor in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Even and EEG can not alone be the determining factor, since it is possible to get false negatives with and EEG (this happened to me). The diagnosis of epilepsy takes several factors including clinical evaluation, description of episodes by the patient, EEG, MRI, and possibly the clinical observation of the seizure. Epilepsy is a very complicated, much misunderstood disorder.

That is my understanding and experience of 8 years as well. I pressed this person and it is one person is telling her that her doctor can see both her seizure and damage they cause on an MRI. Thanks for answering. This person isn't making much sense to me but I just wanted to check. I went to several sites and couldn't find anything either.
