Overview
Mesial temporal sclerosis is a specific pattern of hippocampal neuron cell loss[1] [2]. There are 3 specific patterns of cell loss; Cell loss might involve sectors CA1 and CA4, CA4 alone, or CA1 to CA4 [3]. Associated hippocampal atrophy and gliosis is common[4]. MRI scan commonly displays increased T2 signal and hippocampal atrophy [5] Mesial temporal sclerosis might occur with other temporal lobe abnormalities (dual pathology) [6]. Mesial temporal sclerosis is the most common pathological abnormality in temporal lobe epilepsy[7] [8].
Patient #1: Asymmetry of the mesial temporal lobes is consistent with left mesial temporal sclerosis
