To review the variety of structural lesions responsible for temporal lobe epilepsy and examine the diagnostic challenges when gross abnormalities are absent.
Evaluated clinical and radiological manifestations of structural lesions linked to focal temporal lobe epilepsy.
Assessed diagnostic capability of electroencephalography, cerebral arteriography, and encephalography in detecting structural brain abnormalities.
Temporal lobe epilepsy arises from diverse macroscopic lesions including tumors, cirsoid angiomas, porencephalic cysts, and penetrating head injury scars.
Routine neurological exams, cerebral arteriography, and encephalography frequently fail to detect structural causes despite abnormal electroencephalography findings.
