Abstract

The evolution of cerebral glucose metabolism after partial seizure onset was studied in 38 children using PET scans over 3.0 +/- 1.3 years (and within a year after a third unprovoked partial seizure) by researchers at the Clinical Epilepsy Section, NINDS, and Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC.
