Over forty types of epilepsy are recognized and these are divided into two main groups: focal seizures and generalized seizures. Focal seizures account for approximately sixty percent of all adult cases.<unk>  <unk>  is the single most common form of focal seizure. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) recognizes two main types of<unk> : mesial<unk>  (MTLE), arising in the hippocampus, the parahippocampal gyrus and the amygdala which are located in the inner (medial) aspect of the<unk>  lobe and lateral<unk>  (LTLE), the rarer type, arising in the neocortex at the outer (lateral) surface of the<unk>  lobe. The seizures of LTLE are characterized by auditory or visual features. Autosomal dominant lateral<unk>  (ADLTLE) is a rare hereditary condition, often associated with mutations in the LGI1 gene.
