Our purpose was to increase the knowledge about subcortical low-intensity images on long repetition time by describing brain magnetic resonance images of a young boy after his first spontaneous seizure. Evident in the epileptogenic area were transient images of reversible subcortical low intensity on long-repetition time, T2*-weighted, and b = 0 s/mm(2) diffusion, isointense signal on b = 1000 s/mm(2) diffusion, and restricted diffusion. Most likely, mechanism was axonal flow disruption with iron accumulation and free radicals production induced during seizure.

Abstract

Our purpose was to increase the knowledge about subcortical low-intensity images on long repetition time by describing brain magnetic resonance images of a young boy after his first spontaneous seizure. Evident in the epileptogenic area were transient images of reversible subcortical low intensity on long-repetition time, T2*-weighted, and b = 0 s/mm(2) diffusion, isointense signal on b = 1000 s/mm(2) diffusion, and restricted diffusion. Most likely, mechanism was axonal flow disruption with iron accumulation and free radicals production induced during seizure.
