摘要：
Modern imaging techniques offer refined tools for investigating the pathomechanisms of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE). Studies applying structural MRI techniques, MR spectroscopy, functional MRI and PET are discussed and exemplified by some case studies. Structural and functional changes mainly of thalamic and frontal cortex regions are reported as well as differences related to specific IGE syndromes. The findings suggest a dysfunction within the thalamofrontal-cortical network in IGE and question the traditional syndromatic distinction in focal and generalized epilepsies.
