Hippocampal sclerosis and a second focal lesion--how often is it ipsilateral?

abstract：PURPOSE:Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common respiratory pathogen, has been implicated as an etiology of encephalitis, but there are few reports about it and postencephalitic epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate clinical factors, electroencephalography, and neuroradiologic features of M. pneumoniae-related encephalitis...
