Routine EEG and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Relation to Long‐Term EEG Monitoring, Quantitative MRI, and Operative Outcome

Abstract

Results of this study modified our approach in patients with TLE. Interictal epileptiform discharges localized to one temporal lobe on serial routine EEGs or during LTM may be adequate to identify the epileptogenic zone in patients with MRI-identified unilateral medial temporal lobe atrophy.
