Description
Summary:Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a common pathological finding in temporal lobe epilepsy. The etiology is controversial, whether acquired or developmental, however triggering factors of HS can be epilepticus status, febrile seizures, infectious and vascular diseases or malformations.
