[Structural brain changes in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and comorbid depression].

Objective: To assess the morphological features of the brain structures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and comorbid depression.

Material And Methods: From 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020, we studied 80 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (aged 18-60 years, 38 of whom had comorbid depression) and 48 healthy subjects of comparable age.
