This volume defines and demonstrates the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the evaluation and management of patients with epilepsy. It seeks to provide neurologists, neurosurgeons, and radiologists with the information necessary to optimize the MR investigation of these patients and interpret and apply the findings obtained in MR studies. Illustrated chapters highlight the essential features of brain anatomy seen on MR images and the brain abnormalities detected on MR images in lobar, hemispheric, and diffuse epilepsy disorders. Close attention is given to the role of magnetic resonance imaging in epilepsy surgery, as well as in developmental disorders and epilepsy.
