Temporal encephaloceles and coexisting epileptogenic lesions.

Objective: This study was performed to identify coexisting structural lesions in patients with epilepsy and known temporal encephaloceles (TEs).

Methods: Forty-seven structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients with epilepsy and radiologically diagnosed TEs were retrospectively reviewed visually and using an automated postprocessing software, the Morphometric Analysis Program v2018 (MAP18), to depict additional subtle, potentially epileptogenic lesions in the 3D T1-weighted MRI data. All imaging findings were evaluated in the context of clinical and electroencephalographical findings.
