We investigated the discharge morphology and propagation patterns of electroencephalographic seizures of temporal lobe onset in 21 children and young adults who underwent invasive long-term EEG monitoring (LTM). Of those, 15 subsequently underwent anterior temporal lobectomy. The onset was focal in 63%. The most frequent discharge morphology was low amplitude beta (30%) or rhythmic/semirhythmic theta discharge (30%). Thirteen patients displayed several sequences of propagation with different spreading stages along a fixed path. Initial spreading to the ipsilateral frontal lobe was associated with a higher frequency of secondary generalization than initial spreading to the contralateral temporal lobe (P = 0.18). A comparison of 13 patients older than 18 years of age with 8 patients younger than 14 years showed a trend towards a lower rate of propagating from the temporal lobe (P = 0.13) in the younger age group. Discharge morphology was not correlated with age, focality, or outcome of surgery.
