Cortical and Hippocampal Volume Deficits in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Summary: Purpose: To use quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to examine the extent of volume abnormalities in the hippocampus and in extrahippocampal brain regions in localization‐related epilepsy of temporal lobe origin (TLE).
