ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse the clincal and electroencephalographic characteristics of temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE).Methods Totally 145 patinets with TLE were included in our study.The clinical data,electroencephalographic and neuroimaging investigations were described in detail.Results The kinds of temporal lobe seizures included simple partial,complex partial and generalized tonic clonic.Complex partial seizure was the most common one.The main etiological factors related to 45 patients with lesional TLE were cerebrovascular disease,intracranial infection and trauma etc.Twenty-nine patients had hippocampal sclerosis in the non-lesional TLE group.The electroencephalography recording for TLE showed the presence of interictal epileptic paroxysms discharges over the temporal areas.Conclusion TLE is a syndrome with a variety of clinical manifestations and etiology.Comprehensive diagnosis and therapy are crucial in clinical practice.
