Hi @jgu
Nice to hear from you again! I'm so happy to know that your MRI showed no brain damage 🙏 – that's wonderful news!
You asked about the MRI that first revealed my small mesial sclerosis in the left hippocampus. I'm sharing the details below:
MRI Technique: Magnetic resonance imaging with multiplanar reconstruction sequences including Sagittal T1-weighted, volumetric FLAIR; Axial T2, diffusion, FLAIR; susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI); and volumetric T1 with post-gadolinium multiplanar reconstruction; post-gadolinium Coronal T1 with fat suppression.
I know this is full of complex medical terminology that's hard to understand, but this is all the technical information I have available on this MRI.
It's important to remember that not all types of epilepsy show abnormal MRI findings. For example, in temporal lobe epilepsy, cases involving the lateral temporal lobe have completely normal MRIs.
How did your follow-up appointment with your doctor go after getting your test results? Were your exams able to help identify what type of epilepsy you have or pinpoint where your seizures originate?
