Surgical Treatment of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy Due to Mesial Temporal Sclerosis: Etiology and Significance
Abstract
THERE is now general agreement 1-3 that in about 50% of institutionalized epileptic patients who die of natural causes, an autopsy will disclose a lesion. This was first demonstrated macroscopically in 1825, in 9 out of 18 cases, by Bouchet and Cazauvieilh, 1 who called it Ammon's horn (synonyms—sclerosis of the cornu Ammonis and hippocampal sclerosis). Its histopathology was subsequently described in 1880 by Sommer. 4 This lesion has also been called incisural sclerosis 5 and pararhinal sclerosis. 6,7 Both these terms, however, have now acquired rather misleading connotations, one of difficult birth and the other of olfactory perception. We therefore prefer the simpler term mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) because the sclerotic process usually involves other structures, such as the amygdala and uncus, as well as the hippocampus, and because the term which has since been adopted by others is purely descriptive without etiological or functional implications 8 (Figure).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
