MRI abnormality of the pulvinar in patients with status epilepticus.

Objective: Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities of the pulvinar in patients with epilepsy have received greater attention, but their occurrence and features have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the clinical and radiological features of patients with epilepsy who presented MRI abnormalities of the pulvinar.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively investigated 225 consecutive patients who came to our institute because of seizures and underwent an MRI within 24h.
