Abstract

The finding of the present study of 50 cases of partial seizures has been correlated with EEG & CT scan of head. The male & female cases in this study were 1:2. Age of patient ranged from 10 to 70 yrs (Mean 27 yr). Max. patients were in 20–30 yr & more than 50% were under 30 yrs. aetiology varied from idiopathic in 40%, tubercular granuloma in 14%, NCC in 18%,tumor in 18%, CVA in 6%,brain atrophy in 2%. Majority below 30 yrs were having idiopathic partial seizure. CVA & ICSOL were major cause in patients above 40 yrs. Max. number of seizure began in upper limb 54%, followed by face 40% & lower limb 6%. Simple partial seizure were in 62%, complex partial in 26%, sec. generalisation in 12%. Interictal EEG done in 6–48 hrs following seizure was normal in 48% cases, localization in 52%., focus corresponds to clinical localization in 13 patients(26%). CT scan finding were normal in 40%& focal abnormality in 60%. Out of 30 patient showing localization, in 16 patients(52%) CT defined site corresponded to clinical localization. There is significant association between site of epileptic focus defined by EEG & site of lesion demonstrated by CT in case of partial seizure & partial with seizure generalisation (p<0.001).
