Volumetric changes in amygdala and entorhinal cortex and their relation to memory impairment in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy with visually normal MR imaging findings

摘要

Objective: To explore the relation between parahippocampal structures, such as the amygdala and the entorhinal cortex (EC), with verbal and nonverbal memory in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with visually normal MR imaging findings by volumetric measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
