A member asked:
Can having a right temporal lobectomy cause short term memory damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short answer: Yes....but in your case...other contributing factors to short term memory loss could also be the effects of epilepsy itself on a chronic basis and even more importantly the long term effects of taking antiepileptic medications.
