Presentation
It is important to recognize that it is impossible to distinguish familial and nonfamilial temporal lobe epilepsy patients based solely on the clinical presentation, for both mesial and lateral forms. [medlink.com]
Seizures may then undergo remission until the patient’s late adolescence. 3 Patients classically present with complex partial seizures lasting one to two minutes. [cmaj.ca]

In some patients, only two of the three “seizure types” are present. Sleep deprivation easily provokes the seizures. [aafp.org]
