title: [Stages in the course of temporal lobe epilepsy].
abstract: The data obtained in combined investigation of 128 patients with temporal epilepsy allowed establishment of most informative criteria differentiating between the stages of the disease. Mental and affective disorders or brain local potentials changes in these patients were found to be more reliable in determining the pathologic process stages than the disease duration, attack patterns, neurologic and pneumoencephalographic findings polymorphism. Taking into account the psychic disorders and electroencephalographic changes, three stages were established featuring (1) restricted, (2) spread and (3) wide-spread epileptic brain involvement.
