Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: Revisiting the relation of hippocampal volumetry with memory deficits

ConclusionsVerbal memory deficit seems to be more consistent in patients with left hippocampal volume reduction. Although it had only a moderate correlation to HAI, visual memory deficit is suggested as a poorer indicator for right MTLE. Considering that verbal and visual memory deficits are seen on both right and left MTLE, MTLE should not be regarded as a unilateral, focal, or local insult but as a multifactorial and network pathology, possibly involving several brain structures.
