Abstract
In Gilbert Glaser's "Foreword" to this book, the term "temporal lobe seizures" is taken to mean "psychomotor seizures." The authors also apparently consider these terms synonymous, for on page 2 they cite a case which meets their criteria for the diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy. The patient had an aura of abdominal discomfort, a succession of autonomic signs, semi-purposeful psychomotor movements, visual hallucinations, and a spike focus in the anterior temporal area. By considering temporal lobe epilepsy and anterior temporal lobe or psychomotor epilepsy as identical, they follow a usage that is almost universal in Europe and one that is also common in the United States.
