[Clinical pattern of epilepsy with abortive temporal lobe attacks].
The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the clinical course of epilepsy with infrequent partial attacks with complex manifestations derived from the temporal lobe. Thirty patients aged 14 to 64 years treated on an outpatient basis and discovered during epidemiological investigations were followed-up. In half the cases only attacks without generalization occurred, in the remaining cases isolated generalized seizures appeared during many years of disease duration. In both groups a decrease was observed in the frequency of seizures in patients treated systematically or irregularly, as well as in those who had never been treated. Despite a long duration of the disease (above 6 years in 24 cases) the patients had normal mental level and good social adaptation.
