Abstract
We studied clinical and anamnestic data and the effectiveness of anticonvulsants in 31 patients with focal temporal lobe epilepsy. Seizures in the form of isolated aura and non-motor seizures dominated at the onset of the disease (77%), which were regarded as non-epileptic paroxysms, and most patients (80%) sought medical help later than 6 months. Among non-motor seizures, it is worth noting the inhibition of behavioral reactions (22%), vegetative (42%) and mental seizures (13%). Automatisms was found in 18 (58%) patients, focal motor seizures in the form of a unilateral dystonic seizure in 9 (29%) patients, and secondary generalized seizures were noted in 19 (61%) patients. The use of modern antiepileptic drugs in combination was effective in 42%.
