What is the purpose of eeg for a temporal lobe seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Locate focus: Eeg- electroencephalography is utilized in temporal lobe seizures and other seizure disorders to localize the focus of the seizure. Sometimes when the focus is found, there may be a surgical solution for the seizure and the focus can be removed.
