Value of Proton-MR-Spectroscopy in the Diagnosis of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy; Correlation of Metabolite Alterations With Electroencephalography

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Proton-MR-Spectroscopy can be considered as an alternative modality of choice in the diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy. Seizures and convulsions have to be treated urgently as fast as possible and by the rapid development of technology plus medical sciences, Proton-MR-Spectroscopy may become the most important technique used in epilepsy centers in order to analyse the hippocampusamygdaloid complex and to search for the effectiveness of medical anti-epileptic therapy.
