Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of epilepsy among different age groups and gender of neurological patients in the Taif region and define the most common brain lesion, affecting epileptic patients living in the Taif city using MRI. Data from 150 patients who were clinically diagnosed with epilepsy and had brain MRIs were analyzed using SPSS. Statistical significance was considered when the

p

value is 0.05. The percentage of epilepsy was generally higher in males than in females in the Taif city, and seizures were different between the studied age groups. However, epilepsy was more pronounced in females than in males at certain age groups. Moreover, white matter lesions were most commonly found in the studied group (27.7%), followed by focal lesions, edema, and stroke with equal percentages (16.9%) and less commonly with congenital diseases (12%) and atrophic changes (9.6%). Epilepsy was more pronounced in females than in males at certain age groups. White matter lesions were identified as the most common lesion, presenting in epilepsy patients in the Taif city.

Taif区神经系统患者癫痫性脑异常的MRI鉴别

本研究旨在评估塔伊夫地区不同年龄组和性别的神经系统患者的癫痫患病率，并使用MRI确定最常见的脑病变，影响生活在塔伊夫市的癫痫患者。采用SPSS软件对150例临床诊断为癫痫并进行脑核磁共振的患者数据进行分析。当p值为0.05时，认为有统计学意义。在塔伊夫市，男性患癫痫的比例普遍高于女性，而且不同年龄组的癫痫发作情况也不同。然而，在某些年龄组中，癫痫在女性中比在男性中更为明显。此外，研究组中最常见的是白质病变(27.7%)，其次是局灶性病变、水肿和中风(16.9%)，较少见于先天性疾病(12%)和萎缩变化(9.6%)。在某些年龄组中，癫痫在女性中比男性更明显。白质病变被认为是最常见的病变，出现在塔伊夫市的癫痫患者中。

[Peer reviewed at the editor''s discretion] Perspectives. Most IJCP Perspectives are commissioned. Example. [Peer reviewed at the editor''s discretion] Study design and interpretation. Example. [Always peer reviewed] Original data from clinical investigations. In particular: Primary research papers from RCTs, observational studies, epidemiological studies; pre-specified sub-analyses; pooled analyses. [Always peer reviewed] Meta-analyses. [Always peer reviewed] Systematic reviews. From October 2009, special priority will be given to systematic reviews. [Always peer reviewed] Non-systematic/narrative reviews. From October 2009, reviews that are not systematic will be considered only if they include a discrete Methods section that must explicitly describe the authors'' approach.
