Abstract

The relationship between such cerebral metabolites as N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho), myoinositol (mIns) and clinical presentations of epileptic seizures in children. The observed derangement in cerebral metabolism has been shown to have great importance in diagnostics and therapy of epilepsy in children.
