Role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in nonlesional temporal lobe epilepsy

Conclusion MR spectroscopy is a very sensitive guiding tool in predicting the temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and the side of involvement in patients with TLE even in patients with MR negative studies. It helps in detecting abnormal spectra of various brain metabolites. MR spectroscopy has demonstrated consistent metabolic abnormalities in partial seizures. MRS can also detect bilateral affection with the ipsilateral side more affected.
