Identifying Morphological Patterns of Hippocampal Atrophy in Patients With Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Alzheimer Disease

Purpose Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two distinct neurological disorders associated with hippocampal atrophy. Our goal is to analyze the morphologic patterns of hippocampal atrophy to better understand the underlying pathological and clinical characteristics of the two conditions. Methods Twenty-five patients with AD and 20 healthy controls with matched age and gender were recruited into the AD group....
