The findings are presented in 366 patients with seizures who were studied by computerised tomography of the cranium. The relative frequency of normal scans, cerebral tumours, atrophy and other pathological lesions is indicated. A more detailed analysis of the group of patients with atrophy was carried out. The frequency and severity of atrophy correlated significantly with age but not with length of seizure history. However, the more marked degrees of atrophy were found among patients with long-standing or poorly controlled epilepsy, an observation which has important implications with regard to the adequacy of seizure control in epileptic patients.
研究结果呈现于366例癫痫患者，这些患者均接受了头颅计算机断层扫描。文中指出了正常扫描、脑肿瘤、萎缩及其他病理病变的相对发生率。对萎缩患者组进行了更详细的分析。萎缩的发生率和严重程度与年龄显著相关，但与癫痫病史时长无关。然而，在长期癫痫或控制不佳的癫痫患者中发现了更明显的萎缩程度，这一观察结果对于癫痫患者癫痫控制的充分性具有重要意义。
