A member asked:
My daughter had her first seizure. the mri showed a minor abnormality. if it is cortical dysplasia what is the likelihood of more seizures?

Hard to say: One of the problems of all the modern imaging we have available is knowing what to do with the findings. A minor anomaly may be just that. Something unrelated and of no importance.EEG findings sometimes have a better correlation with future seizure activity. This is best explained by the doc who has access to all the data.
