Temporal Lobe Seizure
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Temporal lobe seizures are a type of epileptic episode that originates in the region of the brain called the temporal lobe, an area linked to memory, emotions, and the interpretation of the senses.
How they may present: it is common for a preceding sensation or aura to appear, such as discomfort in the stomach, a sudden emotion, strange smells or tastes, along with automatic movements of the mouth or hands and a passing alteration of consciousness.
Why seek an evaluation: identifying the origin and characteristics of the episodes allows for appropriate follow-up and greater safety in daily life, in addition to clarifying common questions.
Who treats it? The neurologist studies this type of seizure, and when they occur in children the pediatric neurologist is the point of reference to follow the case closely.
