Kanye West was hospitalized in Australia Wednesday after a game of pick-up basketball in Melbourne.

West was admitted and released the same afternoon after the intense headache, but get this ... the Australian media are claiming Kanye had a seizure!

Woman's Day Australia is reporting Kanye was rushed to Epworth Hospital in Melbourne for an emergency MRI. West, 34, was escorted by his security guards and brought in through the back entrance of the hospital.

He was released hours later and still plans to perform Friday and Saturday in Sydney, according to reports. Wife Kim Kardashian was not with West.
