Studies on the condition were found using the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Library through an electronic search for temporal lobe epilepsy. Four primary research studies and one review article were used to complete this literature review. The articles discussed are condensed in Table 1. Regarding AE in patients with TLE and patients with extra-temporal lobe epilepsy, this was a case-control study consisting of three groups. Group 1 consisted of forty patients with TLE. Group 2 consisted of thirty patients with extra-temporal epilepsy. Group 3 consisted of thirty healthy control volunteers [1]. The studies conducted included clinical assessment and neuropsychological testing. To collect neuropsychological data, these methods were used; Progressive Matrices Test to examine IQ, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Social Rehabilitation Rating Scale (SRRS), Emotional Intelligence Scale, Electroencephalogram (EEG), and Imaging by brain magnetic resonance (MRI) [1]. Clinical assessment was the explanation for the epilepsy. obtained from the patient, witnesses and medical analysis. The Kasr El-Aini psychiatric interview form was used for all three groups. Neuropsychological Tests Using the Progressive Matrices Test to Examine IQ: Developed by Raven, is used to test intelligence without using language and uses 60 "visual model" objects that increase in complexity. General Health Questionnaire: 28-item short GHQ containing 4 factors, A (somatic symptoms), B (anxiety and insomnia), C (social dysfunction), and D (severe depression). Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS): Schedule of a recent experience questionnaire developed by Homlmes and colleagues to measure necessary adaptations to functioning based on life events.
