We describe a 56-year-old woman with left temporal lobe epilepsy who developed symptoms of a panic attack. Owing to normal electroencephalography and brain magnetic resonance imaging results, she was initially diagnosed as suffering from panic attacks and treated for anxiety neurosis. The symptoms persisted and she was re-examined in our department. An interictal electroencephalogram showed par...

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects approximately 70 million people worldwide. There are several types and sub-types of epilepsy, with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy being the most common. Temporal Lobe Epilepsy is often amendable with Anti-epileptic Drugs. When these drugs do not work, surgery may alleviate seizures. In this paper 2 case studies are addressed involving patients who both h...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Voxel-mirrored intrinsic functional connectivity allows the depiction of interhemispheric homotopic connections in the human brain, whereas time-shift intrinsic functional connectivity allows the detection of the extent of brain injury by measuring hemodynamic properties. We combined time-shift voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity analyses to investigate the alterations ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interictal hypometabolism has lateralizing value in cases of temporal lobe epilepsy and positive predictive value for seizure-free outcome after surgery to treat epilepsy. Alterations in regional cerebral metabolism can also be inferred from measurements of regional cerebral perfusion. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of detecting cerebral blood ...

Background: Epilepsy surgery has become a successful treatment option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsies. Objectives: This study aimed to assess temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery outcome and its association with epilepsy duration, the presence of pre-surgical generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), and brain MRI findings. Materials & Methods: This retrospective study was perfo...

Twenty five children each with temporal lobe epilepsy and grand mal epilepsy, both diagnosed electroencephalographically were studied for psychiatric disorders. Temporal lobe epileptics had such disturbances much more oftener. The commonest diagnostic label in both the groups was behaviour disorder, followed by neuroses. Schizophrenia was seen only in temporal lobe epileptics.

Temporal lobe epilepsies represent the most frequent form of focal epilepsies [1]. The seizures are frequently difficult to control with antiepileptic medication and eventually 30-50% of patients have to be considered as medically refractory. Epilepsy surgery can be considered as a valuable treatment option for these patients rendering 70-90% of them seizure-free [2]. Thus, exact localization o...

UNLABELLED Temporal epilepsy, one of the most common presentation of this pathology, causes excessive electrical discharges in the area where we have the final station of the auditory pathway. Both the anatomical and functional integrity of the auditory pathway structures are essential for the correct processing of auditory stimuli. AIM to check the Auditory Processing in patients with tempor...

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurements were determined by the intravenous Xenon 133 technique in 80 patients suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy. All the patients had a normal CT scan. Three subgroups were differentiated, according to EEG and all-night polygraphic recordings: temporal lobe epilepsy with left (N = 25) or right (N = 25) EEG epileptic abnormalities and temporal lobe ep...
