Epilepsy is not a single entity; various brain disorders may cause various types of epileptic seizures. For example, patients with idiopathic (genetic) generalized epilepsies (IGE) suffer from generalized seizures [generalized tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and absences]; they comprise about one-fifth of the epilepsy populations 1. Patients with focal epilepsies suffer from focal seizures with or without impaired awareness. Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most frequent type of focal epilepsies and it comprises about one-fifth of the epilepsy populations 2.
