摘要：

The most common indication for epilepsy surgery is temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) which usually is divided into two categories, mesial and lateral TLE. The commonest pathology underlying mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS); we report on a 50-year-old mate patient, who contracted cerebral malaria and developed MTLE shortly thereafter. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed MTS. Surgical treatment was an anteromedial temporal lobe resection with amygdalohippocampectomy. The patient is seizure free, 36 months after surgical treatment. This is the first report describing MTLE-onset subsequent to cerebral malaria and discussing the potential pathophysiotogical relationship between cerebral malaria and MTS.
