MRI Abnormalities Associated with Partial Status Epilepticus
Neurol 52:1021-1027, Lansberg, M.G.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The radiologic characteristics of status epilepticus resemble those of ischemic stroke but can be differentiated based on lesion location and findings on MRA and postcontrast MRI. The MRI abnormalities indicated the presence of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema, hyperperfusion of the epileptic region, and alteration of the leptomeningeal blood-brain barrier. These changes reversed, but they resulted in some regional brain atrophy.
