Abstract:
Background: One of the most common manifestations seen in
the emergency department is epileptic seizures. Uncontrollably altered motor,
sensory, or autonomic functioning is what defines seizures. They arise from
abnormal and excessive neuronal activity brought on by abrupt electrical
discharges from the brain. In children, seizure disorders are a major cause of
sickness and mortality.

Methods: The Department of Radiology at the Kanachur
Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore University Road, Natekal, Karnataka,
India, was the site of this hospital-based investigation. The investigation was
conducted in the Radiodiagnosis department between August 2024 and July 2015.
There were 148 people in the sample. Each image was obtained using 1.5 T MRI
equipment from the Siemens Magnetom Area.

There were 148 people in the sample. Each image was obtained using 1.5 T MRI

Result: Based on the acquired outcomes, we have
identified the subsequent percentages. Ages 0-1 month (33.10%), 1 month-1 year
(27.02%), 1 year-5 years (8.10%), and 5-15 years (31.75%) make up the
distribution. Of the total population, 60.81 percent were men and 39.18 percent
were women. Of the infants, 16.32% were born before their due date, while
83.67% were born at full term. Of the neonates, we found that 34.14% were
female and 65.85% were male. Preterm births were more common in males (62.50%)
than in females (37.50%).

Conclusion: After our experiment is over, we will
establish whether MRI is effective in identifying the lesions underlying
pediatric seizures and how it correlates with MR spectroscopy.
