[EEG and deep stereotaxic EEG in the diagnosis of bitemporal epilepsy]

Bitemporal epilepsy is characterized by complex hierarchical relationships between the contralateral temporal foci. On the basis of the clinical and electrophysiological examination of 61 patients with the clinical form of the disease which is discussed, the authors singled out definite characteristics the comprehensive evaluation of which allowed three possible types of subordination of the bitemporal foci that was studied to be identified. The authors believe that the singled out variants in the interrelationships of the foci of epileptic activity are not the only specific features in the organization of the epileptic system in bitemporal epilepsy.
