Temporal Lobe Epilepsy treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

A temporal lobe seizure is a type of abnormal electrical discharge in the brain that originates in the temporal region, an area related to memory and emotions. That's why its manifestations can be subtle and different from those of other seizures.

Possible signs:

• Strange sensations in the stomach, unusual smells or tastes
• Episodes of staring with repetitive hand or mouth movements
• Brief confusion and difficulty remembering what happened

When to seek care? It's advisable to consult if you have episodes of disconnection, involuntary movements, or loss of alertness, especially if they recur.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist studies this type of seizure, with the pediatric version in children, and the emergency physician provides care when an episode occurs acutely. When facing these events, a professional evaluation helps understand their origin.
