MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062345 A) filed by Adichunchanagiri University; and Adichunchanagiri Institute Of Medical Sciences, Mandya, Karnataka, on May 16, for 'mri abnormalities associated with afebrile seizures in children aged between one month to eighteen years- a hospital based observational study.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prajna Bhushan; and Dr. K B Mahendrappa.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a novel integrated neuroimaging-based diagnostic system and method for comprehensive evaluation of MRI abnormalities in children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting with afebrile seizures. This approach systematically correlates clinical seizure characteristics, duration, and types with detailed MRI findings to identify underlying structural, genetic, infectious, metabolic, and other etiologies, enabling precise etiological classification according to International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) guidelines and facilitating early, targeted management in pediatric neurology. By combining standardized clinical assessment with high-resolution MRI analysis on the same patients, the system achieves improved detection rates of abnormalities (around 50%) and stronger associations with focal and prolonged seizures, offering superior diagnostic accuracy and prognostic insights compared to fragmented evaluations."
