New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a relatively newly defined disease entity, where otherwise healthy individuals develop unrelenting seizures that do not respond to conventional anticonvulsant therapy and may require months of therapy with anesthetic drugs. We have described a case of NORSE who subsequently developed mesial temporal lobe sclerosis (MTS) and recurrent temporal l...

background and aim: electrical discharges in temporal lobe epilepsy can cause disorders in auditory pathways. staggered spondaic word test ( ssw) is one of the most common behavioral tests to evaluate the central auditory nervous system. this study aimed to evaluate and compare auditory processing problems in temporal lobe epileptic patients and normal subjects with persian ssw test. methods: t...

INTRODUCTION High resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the temporal lobe shows most cases of mesial temporal lobe sclerosis, the most common cause of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In combination with EEG it yields lateralizing results in approx. 90 % of the patients. Several clinical studies on adult patients as well as on children (1,2,3) have demonstrated that proton magnetic resonance sp...
