Abstract
The highest incidence of partial seizures was in 10-19 yrs age group. • Male preponderance was noted in this study (68%). • 78% of patients with focal seizures showed structural lesions on CT scan. • Tuberculoma of the brain is the commonest cause of partial seizures present in 25% of our patients. • The most common site of involvement of tuberculoma are parietal and frontal lobes and no infratentorial lesions were observed. • The next common cause was cerebral infarction in 17% of patients. • Since neuroimaging alone will not help exactly delineating between tuberculoma and neurocysticercosis other supportive clinical evidence must be taken in to account while arriving at a conclusion. • MRI is more specific and sensitive, given the socio economic setup of our country CT scan remains the initial investigation of choice in making the etiological diagnosis of partial seizures.
