Background: Epilepsy affects up to 1% of the population. The present study was conducted to assess clinical profile of patients with epilepsy. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 62 patients of epilepsy. In all patients, causes, symptoms and radiographic findings were recorded. Results: Out of 62 patients, males were 38 and females were 24. Etiology of epilepsy found to be vascular in 20 males and 14 females, post traumatic & degenerative in 15 males and 8 females and non- identified in 3 males and 2 females. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common findings were focal seizures in 27 patients, impaired consciousness in 10, generalized tonic clonic seizures in 18 patients and multiple seizures in 7 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common imaging findings was diffuse brain atrophy in 42 patients, isolated microangiopathy in 12 patients and microangiopathy with focal cerebral gliosis in 8 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Epilepsy is a common neurological condition. Common imaging findings were diffuse brain atrophy, isolated microangiopathy and microangiopathy with focal cerebral gliosis. Key words: Epilepsy, Neurological, seizures
