[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 170033, member: 2423"] According to our pediatric neurologist, the yield for MRIs is very low (in other words, very little is picked up by an MRI). However, if you are dealing with significant behavioral issues, it is never a bad idea to rule medical issues out. My older two children have had MRIs; nothing showed up on my son's, but my daughter's showed small lesions in her temporal lobes, which the neuro said might be contributing to her mood issues. In any event, the treatment (anticonvulsants/mood stabilizers) is the same whether she had these lesions or not. If you are getting an MRI done, you should also schedule an EEG to assess for seizure activity. by the way, the anesthesia used during my kids' MRIs (Propophyl) caused virtually no side effects. They woke right up and were not even sleepy the rest of the day. [/QUOTE]
