Computed Tomography of the Head with and without Contrast in Imaging Focal and Unknown Epilepsy – A Prospective Observational Study

The WHO, in partnership with the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy, released its first global report on epilepsy and recognized epilepsy as a public health imperative in 2019 [1]. More recently, the intersectoral global action plan (IGAP) on epilepsy and neurological disorders set lofty targets for epilepsy to be achieved by 2031 [2]. To get anywhere close to the IGAP targets, resources have to be rationally spent in an evidence-based manner. This includes resources needed for investigating millions of people living with epilepsy, especially in resource-limited settings.
