Abstract: Seizures are a common medical emergency and presentation to emergency departments. All seizure cases needs thorough assessment by a neurologist and require proper neuroimaging. The initial investigation of the patients presenting with seizures is commutated Tomography. However, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for proper assessment. This study aims to classify brain imaging findings in adults aged between 18 to 80 years who have presented with the first onset of seizures. Methods: This is a prospective observational study done in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Jorhat Medical College and Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. The imaging features of patients aged between 18 to 80 years, presenting with the first onset of seizures have been analyzed. Results: In our study, 50 patients presenting with seizures were investigated with CT and MRI. Out of 50 patients aged from 18 to 80 years, 46% (n=23) of the patients do not have any abnormalities.18 % (n=9) of the patients show infectious lesions.20 % (n=10) of the patients have infarction or bleed.6% (n=3) of the patients have intracranial tumors and 10% (n=5) of the patients have other miscellaneous findings. Conclusion: 54% out of the 50 people undergoing MRI imaging show positive findings. The rest 46% do not show any positive findings.
