Clinico - diagnostic and therapeutic relevance of computed tomography scan of brain in children with partial seizures.

Background: Therapeutic relevance of computed tomography (CT) in children with partial seizures is reported to be remarkably low (1-2%). However, in the developing countries where infections involving the nervous system are common, routine CT scan of brain may help in finding treatable causes of seizures.

Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of CT scan of brain in the management of children with partial seizures.
