Hippocampal Sclerosis in Epilepsy and Childhood Febrile Seizures Lancet 342:1391-1394, Kuks,J.B.M.,et al, 1993 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Although these findings show that hippocampal sclerosis is strongly associated with a history of CFS,they do not indicate whether this is a causal relationship.If CPS do cause some cases of hippocampal sclerosis, this can not be the only mechanism,as 64%of those with HVL gave no history of CFS.As diffuse HVL is more strongly associated with a history of CFS than focal HVL,it is also possible that CFS convert pre-existing congenital focal abnormalities into diffuse hippocampal sclerosis.Given the possibility that CFS may cause hippocampal damage and epilepsy,they require urgent medical intervention.
