Neuropsychological effect of temporal lobe resection in preadolescent children with epilepsy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Upper extremity automatisms are considered to be an ipsilateral seizure lateralizing sign in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Herein we describe different types of contralateral upper extremity automatisms (CUEAs). METHODS:One hundred ninety-three video-(electroencephalography) EEG recordings of 59 patients were ...
