Role of Electroencephalography in Presurgical Evaluation of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Figure 17
EEG in a young 25-year-old adult with right mesial occipital dysplasia who became seizure-free after lesionectomy. (a) Interictal EEG shows slowing over the right anterior temporal region and anterior temporal spikes (*). (b) Ictal changes (arrow) were dominant over the right occipital region during one of his typical complex partial seizures. Comments: this case illustrates the presence of temporal spikes and slowing in a patient with occipital epilepsy due to a lesion (i.e., temporal lobe plus syndrome) [7–9].
