- LTLE: left temporal lobe epilepsy; RTLE: right temporal lobe epilepsy.
- Age, duration of epilepsy and age at onset are presented in mean ± SD (range) years. Seizure frequency is given as median (range) of seizures/mo. II: intracranial infection; FC: febrile convulsion; NH: no prior history.
- Definitions: epilepsy duration: period from the time of the first independent seizures to the time of MRI scan; ages of seizures onset, ages at the first independent seizures onset; and seizure frequency, seizures frequency over the recent one-year.
