Abstract
generalized seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was abnormal in 53.6% of cases. Granuloma-tous lesion was dominant neuroimaging finding in our study. Conclusion: This study concluded that males of second and third decades from rural Background are highly prone to epilepsy. Infectious causes like neurocysticercosis and tu-berculoma are predominant etiologies in our area. Neuroimaging plays an important role in establishing and localizing etiology of seizure. Any patient coming with history of epilepsy or suspected as a case of newly diagnosed epilepsy must be investigated with neuroimaging for further management.
