title: Prolonged ictal amnesia with transient focal abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: A previously healthy woman had a prolonged amnestic state caused by complex partial status epilepticus with bilateral mesiotemporal lobe involvement confirmed by EEG with nasopharyngeal electrodes. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan obtained shortly after recovery from the amnesia showed reversible focal abnormalities consisting of increased signal intensity on T2-weighted scan in the mesiotemporal lobe.
