2. Temporal lobe epilepsy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe_epilepsy

   Lateral temporal lobe seizures arising from the temporal-parietal lobe junction may cause complex visual hallucinations. [2] In comparison to mesial temporal lobe seizures, lateral temporal lobe seizures are briefer duration seizures, occur with earlier loss of awareness, and are more likely become a focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. [2]

3. Epilepsy surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy_surgery

   Temporal lobe resection acts as a treatment option for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, or those whose seizure focus is in the temporal lobe. Temporal lobe seizures are the most common type (approximately 30% of diagnoses) of seizures for teens and young adults. [27] The procedure involves resecting, or cutting away, brain tissue within ...

4. Transient epileptic amnesia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_epileptic_amnesia

   However, the "reason for the close relationship of TEA with sleep is unclear. It may be that the transition from sleep to waking acts as a trigger to a seizure focus in the medial temporal lobe. Alternatively, amnesia upon waking may reflect persistent post-ictal dysfunction of medial temporal lobe structures following a seizure during sleep." [2]

5. Reflex seizure - Wikipedia

   In 2015 epilepsy was present in about 1.3% of the population of the United States, approximately 3 million adults and 470,000 children. [13] Reflex epilepsy is found in approximately 5% of people who have epilepsy. [3] Photosensitive epilepsy is the most common type of reflex epilepsy, accounting for 75-80% of cases. [3]

6. Post-traumatic epilepsy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_epilepsy

   Brain trauma is one of the strongest predisposing factors for epilepsy development, and is an especially important factor in young adults. [22] Young adults, who are at the highest risk for head injury, also have the highest rate of PTE, [8] which is the largest cause of new-onset epilepsy cases in young people. [39]

7. Epilepsy syndromes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy_syndromes

   Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is not a classic syndrome but mentioned here because it is the most common epilepsy of adults. It is a symptomatic localization-related epilepsy and in most cases the epileptogenic region is found in the midline ( mesial ) temporal structures (e.g., the hippocampus , amygdala , and parahippocampal gyrus ).
