Objective: Incomplete hippocampal inversion (IHI) is a relatively frequent radiological finding at visual inspection in both epilepsy and healthy controls, but its clinical significance is unclear. Here, we systematically retrieve and assess the association between epilepsy and IHI using a meta-analytic approach. Additionally, we estimate the prevalence of IHI in patients with malformation of cortical development (MCD).

We describe a case of 76-year-old woman with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who developed HSE shortly after brain RT. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF) was normal and the diagnosis was driven by brain MRI and EEG.

Methods: We describe a series of five patients observed over a 4-year period, who presented MI immediately following seizures, either convulsive or nonconvulsive.
Results: Patient 1 had pre-existent coronary disease (CD) and presented multiple focal nonconvulsive seizures.
