Does mesial temporal sclerosis at birth lead to temporal lobe epilepsy and sleep apnea?
Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), also called hippocampal sclerosis, is a type of scarring in the temporal lobe that is frequently associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, MTS is not typically present at birth.
MTS is more commonly linked to a history of febrile seizures (seizures caused by high fever in childhood), brain injuries, or infections of the central nervous system. These events can lead to the scarring that characterizes MTS, which then becomes a cause of temporal lobe epilepsy.
Regarding sleep apnea: The search results provided don't establish a direct connection between mesial temporal sclerosis or temporal lobe epilepsy and sleep apnea. While frontal lobe epilepsy seizures frequently happen at night and can be mistaken for sleep disturbances, there's no specific information linking TLE or MTS to sleep apnea.
If you're experiencing both seizures and sleep-related breathing issues, it's important to discuss both concerns with your neurologist, as they may need separate evaluation and treatment.
