TEACHING POINTS

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common cause of epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis is the major cause of temporal lobe epilepsy. Precise neuroanatomy knowledge will help define the propagation pattern and extra hippocampal anomaly of the TLE. The aims of this exhibit are: To revisit the neuroanatomy related to the hippocampus and limbic system to better understand the diagnosis of TLE To review how to use neuroanatomy knowledge for presurgical evaluation
