[Neuroradiologic study of partial temporal epilepsy].
MR imaging is considered the neuroradiological procedure of choice for the study of intractable partial epileptic patients. The role of CT-scan is limited to the demonstration of calcific components of the lesion and of bony abnormalities of the adjacent skull. In this chapter we describe an MR protocol for the evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy patient; moreover, here there are described neuroradiological characteristics (MR and CT) of the more frequent temporal lobe lesions.
