“…Se reconocen los signos primarios: un hipocampo pequeño o atrófico y un aumento en la intensidad de señal (Figura 2) (29, 30), ipsilaterales al foco epileptógeno, hallazgos que se correlacionan con la pérdida neural y la gliosis (30,31).…”

“…Los signos secundarios incluyen pérdida de la arquitectura interna del hipocampo, pérdida de las digitaciones de la cabeza del hipocampo que normalmente contiene dos o tres digitaciones (Figura 3 izquierda), dilatación del asta temporal ipsilateral asociada a la atrofia hipocampal, aumento de la intensidad de señal de la amígdala, pérdida de volumen del lóbulo temporal (31), atrofia del cuerpo mamilar (Figura 3 derecha), atrofia del fórnix (Figura 4), atrofia del tálamo y atrofia del giro del cíngulo, ipsilateral a la afectación hipocampal (32)(33)(34). La ILAE recomienda realizar una RM a todo paciente con diagnóstico de epilepsia, salvo evidencia inequívoca de epilepsia generalizada idiopática o benigna de la infancia.…”

“…The anteromesial portion of the temporal lobe includes the hippocampus, the amygdala, the parahippocampal gyrus, the uncus and the temporal pole and is implicated in multiple cognitive, emotional, sensory and neuroendocrine functions (Lech & Suchan, 2013). Abnormalities of this region are associated with many neurological and psychiatric disorders (Ochoa-Escudero et al, 2015), proving the complexity of its functional anatomy. Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of refractory focal epilepsy, often associated with hippocampal sclerosis, and amenable to surgical treatment (Blumcke et al, 2017).…”
