  1. Data is expressed as mean ± SD. AE, amygdala enlargement.
  2. Affected side means the AE side and seizure focus, and unaffected side means contralateral side of seizure focus.
  3. Data for normal group and AE group are shown in table. AE group is divided into two subgroups, drug responsive group (22 patients) and drug non-responsive group (11 patients). Smaller versus larger side in normal group and unaffected versus affected side in the AE group are compared respectively. Larger side in normal group is compared with affected side in the AE group. The affected side before versus after treatment in the AE group and two subgroups is also compared. Details are described in the results section.
