Volumetric changes in amygdala and entorhinal cortex and their relation to memory impairment in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy with visually normal MR imaging findings

To explore the relation between parahippocampal structures, such as the amygdala and the entorhinal cortex (EC), with verbal and nonverbal memory in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with visually normal MR imaging findings by volumetric measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Thirty-six consecutive patients with MTLE presenting a non-sclerotic hippocampus though visual inspection were assessed by MRI to measure the...
