Abstract : Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the CT brain findings in adults presenting with the first episode of seizures. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 150 patients presented with the first episode of seizures at Maharajah’s Institute of Medical Sciences between March 2022 and December 2023. Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.3 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1:0.8. Generalized seizures were more prevalent among patients than focal seizures. Of the 150 patients, 70 (46.6%) revealed abnormal findings. Out of these 70 patients, vascular pathology stands as the most prevalent, making up 28.6 %, followed by infective pathology, which accounts for 15%, and the least common was neoplastic pathology (7.7%). Conclusion: A significant number of abnormal findings on CT brain scans were observed in adult patients experiencing their first seizures, endorsing the necessity of prompt CT brain imaging for patients displaying specific clinical risk factors. Keywords: CT Brain, seizures, adults, first episode.
