Scope note: Forma de epilepsia relacionada con la localización (focal) y caracterizada por convulsiones recurrentes que se originan en focos localizados en el LÓBULO TEMPORAL, más frecuentemente en su cara mesial. Pueden estar asociados a la misma una amplia variedad de fenómenos psíquicos, tales como ilusiones, alucinaciones, alteraciones cognitivas y experiencias afectivas. La mayoría de las crisis parciales complejas (ver EPILEPSIA PARCIAL COMPLEJA) se originan en los lóbulos temporales. Las convulsiones originadas en los lóbulos temporales pueden clasificarse, según su etiología, como criptogénicas, familiares o sintomáticas.

Scope note: A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the TEMPORAL LOBE, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p321).
