Abstract
The study examines the frequency and spectrum of structural pathological changes in the brain in 221 adult patients (109 men and 112 women) based on high-field MRI (3T) data. The patients were hospitalized at the Research and Clinical Center No. 2 of the Russian Research Center of Surgery Named after Academician B. V. Petrovsky between 2018 and 2023. Most of them were diagnosed with “epilepsy” (G.40): focal, generalized and unspecified. Studies show that focal (G40.1) epilepsy is the dominant form of the disease with structural changes in the brain. The feasibility of using several 3D isovoxel pulse sequences as part of an epilepsy protocol for the indication and observation of complex anomalies of cortical development and the need to continue research in this direction have been shown.
