Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal firing of nerve impulses in the brain.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the frequency of appearance of pathological changes in conventional examination methods (electroencephalography-EEG, brain computerized tomography -CT or brain magnetic resonance imaging - MRI) in patients with epilepsy, and relationship between clinical manifestations and localization of changes in CT or MRI.
Methods: In this study we have included 110 patients with focal epilepsy who fulfilled the inclusion criteria out of 557 initially diagnosed patients.
