MRI image of a brain with an invasive, multilocular tumor in the left<unk>  lobe of the brain. The origins of<unk>  lobe seizures range from tumors to head trauma to genetics. Tumors account for about one third of all<unk>  cases. Low-grade tumors such as gangliogliomas, low-grade gliomas, and epidermoid tumors are most common, but many high-grade tumors were most likely once involved with seizures. Other lesions on the<unk>  lobe such as hamartomas and nodular heterotopias can cause<unk>  lobe symptoms as well. Birth defects such as vascular malformation are known to cause seizures, especially arteriovenous malformations and cavernous angiomas. Head trauma frequently causes damage to the<unk>  lobe and can cause seizures directly or indirectly through gliosis. Seizures originating directly from head trauma usually occur within a few months, but occasionally they can take years to manifest. On occasion, encephalitis can cause<unk>  lobe seizures but it is most often associated with temporal lobe affliction. The main genetic cause of<unk>  is an autosomal dominant disease called Autosomal Dominant Nocturnal<unk> , which involves mutations in 2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor genes. A genetic mutation on chromosome 22 has also been associated with another genetic form of the disorder.
