2 Fig. 1 Extracranial interictal electroencephalogram of 37-year-old woman with partial epilepsy of left anterior temporal lobe origin, showing focal or anatomically restricted spike discharges.

3 Fig. 2 Extracranial ictal electroencephalogram of 32-year-old man with generalized epilepsy during clinical nonconvulsive seizure, revealing generalized atypical spike and slow-wave complexes.

4 Fig. 3 Magnetic resonance image of patient with intractable partial epilepsy, snowing intracranial mass in left posterior mesial temporal lobe (arrow). Grade I to II astrocytoma was subsequently resected. (Note: left cerebral hemisphere is on right side of photograph.) (From Fried I, Cascino GD. Lesional surgery. In: Engel J Jr, editor. Surgical Treatment of the Epilepsies. 2nd ed. New York: Raven Press, 1993: 501–509. By permission.) Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1994 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

5 Fig. 4 Magnetic resonance image of patient with simple partial seizures consisting of sensory symptoms in left arm, revealing neuronal migration abnormality in right frontal lobe. (Note: right cerebral hemisphere is on left side of photograph.) IP = inferoposterior.

6 Fig. 5 Magnetic resonance image after injection of gadolinium and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, revealing arteriovenous malformation in left posterior temporal lobe (arrow). (Note: left temporal lobe is on right side of photograph.) Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1994 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

7 Fig. 6 Magnetic resonance images, showing agenesis of corpus callosum. A, Coronal reconstruction. B, Sagittal reconstruction. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1994 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

8 Fig. 7 Magnetic resonance image in oblique-coronal plane of patient with mesial temporal sclerosis, revealing atrophy of left hippocampal formation (arrow). Hippocampal volume loss was confirmed with quantitative magnetic resonance image analysis. (Note: left hippocampus is on right side of photograph.) IP = inferoposterior.
