Abstract
Nine patients with transient hemiparesis following a febrile convulsion were part of a group of 71 patients undergoing temporal lobectomy with mesial temporal sclerosis or nonspecific changes in the specimens. There was no gross evidence of additional brain damage in tests before surgery and their response to surgery was as good as the 62 pateints without this history.Keywords
