Zusammenfassung

Nach Besprechung der Klassifikationen der Epilepsien sowie molekularer und zellulärer Pathomechanismen wird die Neuropathologie der Temporallappenepilepsie, der Hippokampussklerose (Ammonshornsklerose), der Epilepsie-assoziierten Tumoren, der fokalen kortikalen Dysplasien, der Rasmussen- und limbischen Enzephalitis und genetisch determinierter Epilepsien dargestellt. Außerdem wird auf Schäden durch Antikonvulsiva eingegangen.
