Preferred Label : epilepsy, frontal lobe;
MeSH definition : A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by seizures which arise
in the FRONTAL LOBE. A variety of clinical syndromes exist depending on the exact
location of the seizure focus. Frontal lobe seizures may be idiopathic (cryptogenic)
or caused by an identifiable disease process such as traumatic injuries, neoplasms,
or other macroscopic or microscopic lesions of the frontal lobes (symptomatic frontal
lobe seizures). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp318-9); A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by seizures which arise
in the FRONTAL LOBE.;
