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]

Studies on the prognosis of TLE-NL are still limited, so this assumption has not been confirmed to date. [dovepress.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]

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]

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]
