New-Onset Aferbrile Seizures in Infants: Role of Neuroimaging
Neurol 74:150-158, Hsieh,D.,et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Infantile seizures are usually brief, but commonly recurrent, and strong consideration should be made for inpatient observation. Acute imaging with CT can alter management in a small but important number of infants. Due to the superior yield, strong consideration for MRI should be given for all infants, as primary generalized seizures are rare, and there is a high rate of cerebral dysgenesis.
