Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe
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...
[Is there a bridge between migraine and familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy?]
14 Sep 2009 Numerous reviews have emphasized the links between certain types of epilepsy and migraine. Historically, Gowers was one of the first, in 1907, to have drawn attention to a possible relationship between migraine headache and epilepsy in a period when ... 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...
