What does it show if you have a epilepsy brain scan?

An epilepsy brain scan, often using techniques like an EEG or MRI, can reveal abnormal electrical activity or structural changes in the brain that are associated with seizure disorders. The scan may show areas of brain damage, scarring, or lesions that could be contributing to seizure activity. Additionally, an EEG can detect spikes or waves indicative of epilepsy. These findings help in diagnosing the type of epilepsy and guiding treatment options.
