Test Results
Results and Interpretations
| Finding / Observation | Description | General Interpretation / Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Hippocampal sclerosis | Volume loss & T2 hyperintensity | Likely temporal-lobe epilepsy |
| Cortical dysplasia | Thickened cortex & blurred gray-white junction | May need surgery |
| Cavernoma | Popcorn-like lesion with hemosiderin rim | Risk of seizures |
| Low-Grade Glioma (e.g., Ganglioglioma) | Slow-growing brain tumor seen as abnormal mass with variable enhancement, often in temporal lobes. | May directly trigger seizures. Management typically includes neurosurgical consultation, biopsy, or resection, depending on tumor behavior. |
| Low-grade tumour | Hypointense T1, hyperintense T2 | Biopsy or resection required |
| Gliosis / Encephalomalacia | Area of scarring or softening in the brain, appearing as volume loss with abnormal signal, often from prior injury. | Indicates previous brain injury (e.g., trauma, infection, infarct). This region may now act as a seizure focus. |
| Mesial Temporal Sclerosis (MTS) | A form of hippocampal sclerosis involving medial temporal lobe atrophy and signal abnormality. | Equivalent to hippocampal sclerosis; hallmark finding in many patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. |
| Evidence of Past Traumatic Brain Injury | Signs such as encephalomalacia, hemosiderin staining, or cortical irregularity reflecting previous trauma. | Post-traumatic epilepsy is common following significant brain injury. MRI findings help correlate with seizure onset zones. |
| Developmental Venous Anomaly (DVA) | A benign vascular anomaly with radial venous drainage pattern—typically normal brain tissue between veins. | Usually asymptomatic and incidental. Occasionally associated with seizure-causing cavernomas or other malformations. |
