[Epileptic seizures in young patients with hypodense lesions in the CT image].
Progress in neurodiagnostic medical technology, and in computer tomography in particular, has raised fresh problems in connection with epilepsy. Among our patients we have observed three case of epilepsy, in whom the CT image unexpectedly revealed hypodense lesions of various sizes in the cerebrum. The three are young patients aged 20 to 25 years with negative neurological findings. The above changes in the CT image are extremely difficult to interpret. It is not even know whether the lesions must be considered the cause or a consequence of the epileptic seizures or whether the pathomorphological processes are basically identical or completely different in all three patients.
