[Epileptic leukoencephalopathy and its significance in the pathogenesis of epilepsy]
Abstract:
A role of the white matter pathology in the pathogenesis of epilepsy is discussed. Results of the neurohistological study of the removed material of patients who were operated for pharmacoresistant temporal epilepsy are presented. The experimental study of animals that allowed to follow-up morphological changes in the cortex and underlying white matter during the formation of an epileptic focus has been conducted. The attempt has been made to evaluate in-vivo noninvasively the white matter in patients with local cryptogenic epilepsy using different functional neuroimaging methods.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
