Occurrence of hippocampal sclerosis: is one hemisphere or gender more vulnerable?

abstract：:This study evaluated the effects of cinromide in patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. No difference between cinromide and placebo was shown in terms of seizure reduction or global evaluations. This study is important, however, because it represents an effort to overcome methodologic difficulties inherent in evaluati...
