Are mRI analysis in temporal lobe epilepsy : cortical thinning and white matter disruptions related to side of seizure onset?
These data support previous findings of LTLE showing greater structural compromise than RTLE, and suggest that mechanisms may not be uniform for gray and white matter compromise in patients with LTLE and RTLE. These results may indicate that LTLE is different from RTLE, possibly due to greater vulnerability of the left hemisphere to early injury and the progressive effects of seizures.
Prognostic significance of the non-size-based T2 descriptor T2P is dependent on tumor size.
