Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an essential role in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of epilepsy. Recent advances in MRI have allowed both structural and functional abnormalities to be visualized. Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that benefits greatly from MRI. Abnormal MRI findings indicate a greater chance of having recurrent seizures and also indicate that seizures can be controlled by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Additionally, MRI can assist in the pre-surgical evaluation and planning of patients with epilepsy. In this review, different MRI techniques and their applications in both diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy are discussed.
