Abstract
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to describe arterial spin labeling MR image findings of status epilepticus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A retrospective chart review within our institute revealed six patients who had been clinically diagnosed as status epilepticus and had also undergone MR imaging that included ASL in addition to routine sequences.
RESULTS
Six patients with status epilepticus were studied by conventional MR and arterial spin labeling imaging. All patients showed increased regional CBF correlating with EEG pathology. Notably, in two patients, conventional MRI and DWI showed no abnormal findings whereas pCASL demonstrated regional increased CBF in both patients.
CONCLUSION
Arterial spin labeling might offer additional diagnostic capabilities in the evaluation of patients with status epilepticus.
