In this paper, we review the EEG characteristics of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Several "non-standard" electrodes may be needed to further evaluate the EEG localization, Ictal EEG recording is a major component of preoperative protocols for surgical consideration. Various ictal rhythms have been described including background attenuation, start-stop-start phenomenon, irregular 2-5 Hz lateralized activity, and 5-10 Hz sinusoidal waves or repetitive epileptiform discharges. The postictal EEG can also provide valuable lateralizing information. Postictal delta can be lateralized in 60% of patients with TLE and is concordant with the side of seizure onset in most patients. When patients are being considered for resective surgery, invasive EEG recordings may be needed. Accurate localization of the seizure onset in these patients is required for successful surgical management  ISSN : 0317-1671  Journal Name : Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences  Volume : 37  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, August 14, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان Jan, Mohammed Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  30252.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
