Postictal behaviour in temporal lobe epilepsy Volume 8, issue 3, September 2006

Figure 1 Electroencephalographic changes during the complex partial seizure, showing rhythmic delta activity with increasing frequency in the right temporal area (box cursor) at seizure onset (A). After spread to the left hemisphere a left fronto-temporal predominance was observed during the remaining part of the seizure (B).

Figure 2 Interictal epileptiform activity in the right temporal area (spike with phase reversal at T4) during sleep. Spikes and sharp waves in this area were observed at low to moderate frequency.

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance tomography of the patient showing signs of mesial temporal sclerosis (T1-weighted coronal slice (A) and coronal inversion recovery (B)). Note the reduced hippocampal volume and alteration of the signal intensity.
