I'm no dr, but I'll do my best at clarifying this for you. πŸ‘ Left mesial temporal sclerosis is not a type of seizure. That's a medical description of where her seizure focus is. What that basically means is the seizure focus for your daughter's myoclonic epilepsy is located "toward the middle" (mesial) of the damaged/hardened tissue (sclerosis) in her left temporal lobe. Hope that's an easy to understand explanation. πŸ’œ
