Epilepsies, Partial [Disease/Finding] Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe [Disease/Finding] 1024058 C0014556 C2442 193000002 N0000001132 Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe D004833 Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe M0007578 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 (i.e., related to an identified disease process or lesion).
