Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with no specific histological abnormality: a distinct surgically remediable syndrome.
The purposes of the study were twofold: to clarify the clinical features and surgical outcome of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with no specific histological abnormality and to determine the optimal surgical strategy. ⋯ Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with no specific histological abnormality is a clinical entity distinctly different from MTLE with HS. Bitemporal independent and/or nonlateralizing seizure onset on intracranial EEG is very common. Although the presence of lateral temporal and/or extratemporal epileptogenicity should always be kept in mind, postoperative seizure outcome after AHE is favorable even in cases with bitemporal independent and/or nonlateralizing seizure onset.
