All patients had typical MR features of hippocampal sclerosis (HS), and the two operated cases had typical HS histology and became seizure-free postoperatively. These cases suggest that hypertensive encephalopathy may be a rare form of initial precipitating injury, leading to TLE and HS. | Gov't Doc #: | 12743248 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9495 | Journal: | Neurology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12743248 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Anterior Temporal Lobectomy Antihypertensive Agents.therapeutic use Child Child, Preschool Diagnostic Imaging Epilepsy, Complex Partial.etiology.surgery Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe.etiology.physiopathology.surgery Female Glomerulonephritis.complications Hippocampus.pathology Humans Hypertension, Renal.complications Hypertensive Encephalopathy.complications.drug therapy.physiopathology Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome.complications Nephrotic Syndrome.complications Retrospective Studies Sclerosis.etiology |
