{"doi":"10.1177/0883073815574199","title":"Predictors of Abnormal Neuroimaging of the Brain in Children With Epilepsy Aged 1 Month to 2 Years","abstract":"<jats:p>Neuroimaging should be performed on infants with seizure. However, there are economic limitations in performing neuroimaging in a resource-limited setting. The younger the age, the higher the risk of having abnormal neuroimaging. The aim was to determine frequency and predictors of abnormal neuroimaging in children with epilepsy aged 1 month to 2 years. History, physical examination, electroencephalogram (EEG), and neuroimaging were reviewed. Thirty-seven of 49 (76%) had neuroimaging studies; 19 computed tomography (CT), 14 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 4 had both. Abnormal neuroimaging was found in 19 (51%). Predictors of abnormal neuroimages are developmental delay, abnormal head circumference, and abnormal neurologic examination. Eight children (21%) had lesions on neuroimaging studies that altered or influenced management. Of 8 patients with normal examination and EEG, 1 had a brain tumor and another had arteriovenous malformation. Neuroimaging should be considered as an essential aid in the evaluation of infants with epilepsy, even in a resource-limited setting.</jats:p>","journal":"Journal of Child Neurology","year":2015,"id":17837,"datarank":0.28365313479948384,"base_score":1.3862943611198906,"endowment":1.3862943611198906,"self_citation_contribution":0.20794415416798362,"citation_network_contribution":0.07570898063150021,"self_endowment_contribution":0.20794415416798362,"citer_contribution":0.07570898063150021,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":3,"citer_count":3,"citers_with_citation_signal":2,"citers_with_endowment":2,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":126177,"name":"Nasuda Danchaivijitr","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":126178,"name":"Surachai Likasitwattanakul","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":126176,"name":"Oranee Sanmaneechai","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"base_score":1.3862943611198906,"endowment":1.3862943611198906,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"25792429","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2027542625","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.2095,"citation_percentile":0.57392259,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://journals.sagepub.com/page/policies/text-and-data-mining-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0883073815574199","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full-xml/10.1177/0883073815574199","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0883073815574199","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25792429","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Epilepsy research and treatment","Neonatal and fetal brain pathology","Fetal and Pediatric Neurological Disorders","Psychology","Medicine","Brain","Brain Neoplasms","Child, Preschool","Developmental Disabilities","Electroencephalography","Epilepsy","Female","Head","Humans","Infant","Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Male","Neurologic Examination","Organ Size","Physical Examination","Prognosis","Retrospective Studies","Tomography, X-Ray Computed"],"mesh_terms":["Brain","Brain Neoplasms","Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations","Developmental Disabilities","Child, Preschool","Electroencephalography","Epilepsy","Female","Head","Humans","Infant","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Male","Neurologic Examination","Organ Size","Physical Examination","Prognosis","Retrospective Studies","Tomography, X-Ray Computed"],"keywords":["Neuroimaging","Electroencephalography","Magnetic resonance imaging","Medicine","Epilepsy","Psychology","Radiology","Psychiatry","Infant","Seizure","Electroencephalogram"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-06-03T01:35:33.029574Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
