The neurophysiology and seizure outcomes of late onset unexplained epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight LOUE as pharmacosensitive and left temporal predominant. Given the higher prevalence of vascular risk factors, investigations are needed to study their role in pathophysiology.
SIGNIFICANCE: Physicians caring for patients with LOUE should evaluate for vascular risk factors and investigate the presence of hippocampal atrophy.
