High‐resolution (1 mm isotropic) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the hippocampus in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients has shown patterns of hippocampal subfield diffusion abnormalities, which were consistent with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) subtype on surgical histology. The objectives of this longitudinal imaging study were to determine the stability of focal hippocampus diffusion changes over time in TLE patients, compare diffusion and quantitative T2 abnormalities of the sclerotic hippocampus, and correlate presurgical mean diffusivity (MD) and T2 maps with postsurgical histology.
