Temporal lobe epilepsy

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the association of complex olfactory and visual hallucinations with pathology in the temporal lobe (TL). TL epilepsy (TLE) is a form of focal cortical seizure disorder characterized by a great variety of clinical phenomena. There is no single underlying pathological cause for TLE.

Photosensitive temporal lobe epilepsy

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1995
Photic-induced seizures are usually generalized. There are several cases of focal seizures reported, and all have been shown to arise from the visual cortex. We report an unusual case of temporal lobe epilepsy, supported by electroclinical data and confirmed by a successful temporal lobectomy, with seizures induced by photic stimulation.

Neuropsychology and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

CNS Spectrums, 2002

Morphometry in temporal lobe epilepsy

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1995
We demonstrate a method for quantitating changes in volume and morphology of the temporal lobe in epilepsy. The temporal lobes of 10 neurologically normal subjects and six subjects with well defined left-sided mesial temporal epilepsy were studied.

Neuropsychology of temporal lobe epilepsies

2022
This chapter focuses on the neuropsychology of adults with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). First, a thorough description of the brain-behavior relationship characterizing focal TLE with and without hippocampal sclerosis is presented. Then, the aim and the specificity of the NPA in the care of epilepsy are described.

Epilepsy in Temporal Lobe Tumours

European Neurology, 2008
The authors studied a series of 308 patients with temporal lobe tumours (265 intracerebral and 43 extracerebral). The incidence of epilepsy in intracerebral temporal tumours was 41%. Epilepsy occurred most frequently in oligodendrogliomas (84%) and astrocytomas (53%).

The "March" of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1957
"I doubt not that there is some order throughout, from the warning to the end of the post paroxysmal stage."1 With these words John Hughlings Jackson, in 1880, discussed the results of his exhaustive clinical studies of epileptic patients whose symptoms comprised a number or a series of consecutive or simultaneous alterations of thought, emotion ...

Antecedents of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Archives of Neurology, 1967
TEMPORAL lobe epilepsy formerly was regarded as a late and rare form of convulsive disorder. Gibbs et al in 1943, 1 for example, studied the frequency of epilepsy in patients of various ages with only one type of seizure. They found only seven among 134 children with epilepsy who had psychomotor spells before age 10 (Table 1).

Chlorazepate in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976
To the Editor.— Clorazepate dipotassium (Tranxene) is a new benzodiazepine derivative that is generally available for use in the symptomatic relief of anxiety. 1 Preliminary studies 2 have indicated a possible role for clorazepate in the treatment of certain patients with epilepsy.

Psychotherapy and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

American Journal of Psychotherapy, 1984
This paper describes psychotherapy of a thirty-year-old man with documented temporal lobe epilepsy. After describing the commonly associated neuropsychiatric symptoms and personality syndrome, a case history and summary of treatment are presented. Changes in frequency, duration, and severity of seizures are discussed in relation to psychotherapy.
