In addition to advances in imaging and functional imaging techniques, intensive study of the semiology of ictal and post-ictal symptoms

significantly contributes to major progress in the field of epileptology. Due to this, new signs with possible localizing and lateralizing

value are being discovered the knowledge and recognition of which not only contributes to establishing the right diagnosis, but particularly

to the correct detection of the epileptogenic zone during the course of assessment within an epilepsy surgery program. The

present article provides an overview of lateralizing signs in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

Keywords: temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), lateralizing value, periictal symptoms, epilepsy surgery, video-EEG monitoring
