Covid-19: Caution urged while lockdown eases in England because of vaccine success

Objective: To investigate whether quantitative MR techniques can be used to distinguish between mesial temporal sclerosis in patients with a history of prolonged febrile convulsion and without such history. Methods: Quantitative hippocampal T2 relaxometry, volumetry, single voxel 1H-MRS data were acquired from 16 children who subsequently underwent lobe resections for intractable epilepsy histologically shown have the horn Ammon. Eight had early childhood eight other or no associations. Results: Patients smaller hippocampi (p = 0.02) relaxation time 0.03) ipsilateral seizure focus when compared There was also more side-to-side asymmetry 0.004) volume than those No differences groups identified using 1H-MRS. Conclusions: These support view that there are at least two types sclerosis. may several pathogenetic pathways initial insult later sclerosis, these are, part, dependent on insult.
