Are auras a reliable clinical indicator in medial @entity1315 with XXXX ?

@entity1 @entity131 @entity410 @entity1315 @entity302 @entity8682
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Medial @entity1315 with unilateral @entity131 (MTLE- @entity8682 ) is the most frequent form of surgical @entity1315 . In this study, it was aimed to determine whether different @entity302 represent a cardinal and characteristic feature of MTLE- @entity8682 and might provide a diagnostic complement to help identify @entity1 who will be @entity410 -free after surgery. METHODS: All types of auras and associations of auras reported by 400 MTLE- @entity8682 @entity1 referred for surgery were retrospectively collected and their statistical correlation with the postoperative outcome was examined in a subgroup of 305 @entity1 who underwent surgery. RESULTS: A total of 876 auras were collected, classified into 12 categories. Globally, MTLE- @entity8682 @entity1 reported widely variable auras and groupings of auras. Most common were autonomic and abdominal visceral auras, followed by psychoaffective and experiential auras; less common, but seen in 10%-15% of @entity1 , were non-specific auras, @entity302 , and least common, reported by less than 10% of @entity1 , were auditory, gustatory, vestibular, olfactory and intellectual auras. No auras were reported in 10% of @entity1 . 65% of @entity1 experienced more than one type of aura (two to seven). No specific groupings of aura type were apparent. No evidence was found for correlation between postoperative outcome and (i) any @entity302 , (ii) the number of categories of aura per @entity1 and (iii) any association of categories of auras. CONCLUSION: Auras and association of auras vary widely in MTLE- @entity8682 and provide no useful insight into surgical outcome.
