Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe - Pathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe'A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the temporal lobe, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic (i.e., related to an identified disease process or lesion).

Interhemispheric propagation of seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
28 Sep 2009 
OBJECTIVES: To investigate interhemispheric propagation of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy seizures in patients undergoing long-term video-EEG monitoring with combined scalp and foramen ovale electrodes. AIM OF THE STUDY: To reveal possible ... Read more...
Seizure frequency and lateralization affect progression of atrophy in temporal lobe epilepsy.
13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: It is unclear which factors lead to progressive neuronal damage in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether progressive hippocampal and extrahippocampal atrophy occur in patients with MTLE ... Read more...
Mesial temporal sclerosis after posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
30 Aug 2009 Neither intrathecal methotrexate nor posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome has previously been reported to result in mesial temporal sclerosis. Described here is the case of a boy with no risk factors for mesial temporal sclerosis who ... Read more...
