Abstract

Purpose: In patients diagnosed with epilepsy, decreased ratio of N-acetyl aspartate to creatine (NAA/Cr) measured in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been accepted as a sign of neuronal cell loss or dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a similar neuronal cell loss is present in a group of encephalopathy with electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) patients
