Early childhood MRI findings in complex partial seizures and hippocampal sclerosis.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on an infant with typical complex partial seizures. Visual analysis revealed MRI signs of left hippocampal sclerosis (HS) at an age of 9 months. Morphometric data including volumetry and relaxometry confirming the diagnosis are shown. This is the first report of an infant younger than 2 years with typical MRI findings including morphometric data on HS.
