✦ Synopsis

Incidence of CT' abnormalities and their correlation with clinical and EEG features were evaluated in a consecutive series of 202 adult patients with newly diagnosed epileptic seizures. Abnormal CT findings were found in 36% of these patients; the abnormalities consisted of brain tumors (17%)) atrophic lesions (11%) and other organic findings (8%) such as arteriovenous malformations. Focal features of seizures, in neurologicaf examination and/or in EEG, correlated signi~c~~y with CT abnormalities. The absence of these findings did, however, not exclude the possibility of brain lesions, which in many cases were treatabie by surgery.

Human and experimental animal studies suggest a relationship between low Mn status and seizures. The genetically epilepsy prone rat (GEPR), which has low tissue Mn levels, was studied in the context of Mn supplementation.
