Peri-ictal magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities during status epilepticus in adults with idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Key Points

• To evaluate the prevalence of MRI abnormalities during status epilepticus in adults with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
• Analyzed MRI findings in adults experiencing status epilepticus
• Compared diffusion-weighted imaging results with other causes of status epilepticus
• Individuals with idiopathic generalized epilepsy show a significantly lower risk of diffusion-weighted imaging abnormalities during status epilepticus
• MRI characteristics differ notably from status epilepticus caused by other conditions
