Presentation
On the opposite side of the spectrum, the group of benign epilepsy syndromes presented in this book is clearly more prevalent in childhood than the intractable epilepsies. [books.google.com]
Presentation A stroke tends to produce a rapid onset of symptoms whilst a space-occupying lesion will produce a more insidious onset. [patient.info]
Five patients had epigastric auras often associated to oro-alimentary automatic activity, 3 patients presented loss of contact, and 2 experienced secondary generalizations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
Temporal lobe seizures are often accompanied by strange sensations, sweating, flushing, vertigo, epigastric sensations, taste, and hearing of sounds or melodies, nausea, hallucinations or feelings of déjà vu. [epilepsyqueensland.com.au]
[…] and perceptual phenomena, as well as autonomic symptoms is possible in this epilepsy syndrome: déjà vu, jamais vu, “stranger behind the back”, feeling of detachment from oneself, sensation of enlightenment, extreme pleasure, fear and dread, anxiety, nausea [doctorstrizhak.com]
Symptoms are myriad but tend to localize around the eyes (glassy-eyed, “drugged”, dazed, far-away look), the mouth (lip-smacking, drooling, gurgling) and the abdomen (nausea, vomiting, epigastric sensation). 8 Most seizures last for several minutes and [aafp.org]
Children with these types of seizures can present with pallor, visual changes, vomiting, nausea, dilated pupils, or fainting spells. The eyes and head can be deviated towards one direction and consciousness can be impaired. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
however, be minimal or absent Transient global amnesia Sudden onset of isolated anterograde and retrograde amnesia for usually 2–8 h Panic attack Abrupt onset with intense feeling of fear, no loss of consciousness, autonomic features (tachycardia, nausea [slideshare.net]

These lesions are associated with different neurological manifestations that are frequently associated with TSC. [docksci.com]
Workup
No other workup or CSF markers were obtained. MRI of 10/05: Lesion is recorded as 8×10 mm. [med.virginia.edu]
[…] lesion for neoplastic signal Electroencephalography (EEG); indicated in all patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy Magnetoencephalography (MEG); mainly used for coregistration with MRI to give magnetic source imaging in 3-dimensional space See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
The same is valid if in the later course of the diagnostic workup, localization information is acquired by PET, SPECT or MEG. [slideshare.net]
This requires extensive workup with detailed brain imaging and EEGs. A neurosurgeon will then surgically remove the area of the brain that is causing the seizures. This is called epilepsy surgery. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
Additional workup in selected patients may include serologies and CSF analysis. Ocular miastenia must be included in the differential diagnosis in all cases of motility disorders, expecially when pupil is not involved. [docksci.com]

Surgical treatment is a potentially curative option for this type of epilepsy. [doctorstrizhak.com]

Prognosis
[…] disease Benign familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy Disease definition Benign familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is a rare epilepsy characterized by seizures with viscerosensory or experential auras, onset in adolescence or early adulthood and good prognosis [orpha.net]
Prognosis and Treatment of Lateral Temporal Epilepsy The prognosis largely depends on the cause of the brain lesion and is not very predictable. [doctorstrizhak.com]
Neurologists and paediatricians should be familiar with these conditions because accurate diagnosis, and its consequent good prognosis, may save much suffering to the family. [books.google.com]
Studies on the prognosis of TLE-NL are still limited, so this assumption has not been confirmed to date. [dovepress.com]
Etiology
These seizures range from benign neonatal convulsions to infantile spasms (West syndrome) to absence seizures and partial seizures associated with well-defined focal pathology with many types and etiologies. [clinicalgate.com]
Epilepsy due to perinatal insults Epilepsy due to malformations of cortical development 4/16 Chandler Preston Chandler Epilepsy due to mitochondrial and metabolic disorders Benign neonatal seizures Breath holding spells 5/7 Chandler Amy Amy Cardiac etiologies [loyolamedicine.org]
Etiology Hippocampal sclerosis Approximately two thirds of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy treated surgically have hippocampal sclerosis as the pathologic substrate. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The most common etiology is hippocampal sclerosis (HS), which is responsible for 60%–70% of all TLE cases. [dovepress.com]
Etiology and Basic Mechanisms The etiology of familial epilepsies is first determined by the genetic pattern that indicates an inherited disease and second by the structural/functional abnormalities that are associated with this genetic background. [neupsykey.com]

Pathophysiology
Before we enter the discussion regarding the effect of seizures on the brain, it is essential that we differentiate among the different types of epilepsy and seizures because it is clear that the pathophysiology of the many syndromes and situations are [clinicalgate.com]

Prevention
This review highlights research findings that suggest possibilities for the prevention and treatment of epilepsy. Funding and Disclosures Supported in part by a grant (NS39950) from the National Institutes of Health. We are indebted to Drs. [nejm.org]
In addition, parents should also be aware that these drugs may prevent recurrences but do not alter the long-term prognosis for attaining seizure remission. [aafp.org]
A possible or certain diagnosis of a CVE requires investigation, as outlined in the separate Stroke Prevention article. Referral to a neuropsychologist may still be useful to elucidate the precise nature of the problem and for help with management. [patient.info]
Second, we could not obtain video-EEG monitoring results from all of our patients, thus preventing the detection of exact seizure semiology, including automatisms and ictal EEG patterns. [dovepress.com]
PREVENTION Seizures can be prevented by regularly taking the prescribed medications. In fact, not taking medications is the most common cause for breakthrough seizures. During times of illness or stress, seizures can occur. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
