Abstract
CT scans of 70 patients with seizures and 48 patients with headaches were studied. Using accepted CT criteria for the diagnosis of cerebellar atrophy, the films were analyzed in a blind, unbiased fashion to evaluate possible relationship between cerebellar atrophy and phenytoin use or epilepsy itself. We found no evidence that either phenytoin or epilepsy caused cerebellar atrophy.
