Female, 6 months old, with complex febrile seizure. Parenchymal morphology is within normal limits. The pattern of gyral development is normal. No migrational anomalies are suspected. No restricted diffusion or other areas of focal parenchymal signal abnormality are seen.The pattern of white matter myelination would suggest an age of more than 3 months but less than 6 months, based on standard references. The pituitary region is unremarkable. The corpus callosum is fully formed and normal. The brainstem, cerebellar vermis and cerebellar hemispheres are unremarkable.Dedicated views of the mesial temporal structures show no discrete abnormalities. No pathologic parenchymal or extra-axial enhancement is detected.No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or any abnormal extra-axial fluid collection is seen. The ventricular system is normal in size and morphology.
1. No specific findings are seen to account for the patient's seizures.2. Mild discrepancy between the degree of white matter myelination observed and that expected for the reported age of 6 months. This could reflect normal individual variation. Correlation with corrected gestational age, taking into account any prematurity, may also account for this observation.
