Abstract

Introduction: Epilepsy, one of the oldest recorded diseases, is a chronic condition characterized by 
repeated spontaneous seizures. It is considered as one of the most common neurological disorders and 
represents a major health problem. Patients and Methods: This prospective clinical study included 
30 epileptic patients (18 males and 12 females). The range of age for the cases was (3-12 years old); 
the mean age was (7.57±3.15years) with clinically diagnosed epilepsy who were referred from 
pediatric neurological clinic to magnetic resonance imaging unit at Radiology Department, Minia 
University Hospital in the time period from May 2019 to March 2020. Magnetic Resonance Imaging 
(MRI) of the brain including volumetric measures was performed to all the patients included in this 
study. Results: This study was carried out on 30 epileptic patients. The range of age for the cases was 
(3-12 years old); the mean age was (7.57±3.15 years). According to the volumetric results epileptic 
patients was divided into two groups: Abnormal volume group (20 cases) and normal volume group 
(10 cases).
