A retrospective study of MR imaging in dogs with seizures

Abstract

The diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy is done by exclusion of all other known causes. This is done by a thorough history, clinical signs, negative laboratory (CBC, biochemistry, urinalysis, and CSF), EEG and different imaging techniques, where MRI plays a crucial role (DeLahunta and Glass 2009). An important purpose of our study was to determine the ratio of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) and symptomatic epilepsy (SE) in our patient population compared to previously done studies.
