Status epilepticus MRI findings

Hotter than a cup of coffee! Note: DWI imaging increased signal in thalamus, insula and cortex. Note profound hippocampal involvement on axial FLAIR and DWI images. On FLAIR images there is significant hippocampal and temporal lobe involvement. No cells on LP. EEG shows ongoing right temporal seizures. We think she was having three seizures without loss of consciousness or convulsions every 20 minutes for a week before this scan



DWI with temporal lobe involvement

DWI with insula and thalamic involvement

FLAIR showing significant hippocampal and temporal love involvement. All this injury is felt secondary to the ongoing uncontrolled seizure activity.
