• With improvement in magnetic resonance(MR)imaging techniques,the ability to identify lesions responsible for temporal lobe epilepsy has increased.MR imaging has also enabled the in vivo diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis.Brain tumors are responsible for 2-4% of epilepsies in adult population and 10-20% of medically intractable epilepsy.The sensitivity of MR imaging in the diagnosis of tumors and other lesions of the temporal lobe(vascular malformations,etc.)is around 90%.Both hippocampal sclerosis and other temporal lobe lesions are amenable to surgical therapy with excellent postsurgical seizure outcome.In this article,we characterize and underline distinguishung features of the different pathological entitles.We also suggest an approach to reviewing the MR images of an epileptic patient.
