We aimed to identify different anatomical and semiologic subgroups in temporal lobe seizures, and investigate the correlation between them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We enrolled 93 patients for whom stereoelectroencephalography exploration indicated that the seizure-onset zone was within the temporal lobe. Ictal signs and concomitant stereoelectroencephalography changes were carefully reviewed and quantified, and then cluster analysis and the Kendall correlation test were used to associate ictal signs with the temporal structures of patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clustering analysis identified two main groups of temporal structures. Group 1 consisted of the medial temporal lobe structures and the temporal pole, which were divided into two subgroups. Group 1A included the hippocampal head, hippocampal body, and amygdala, and this subgroup correlated significantly with oroalimentary automatisms, feeling of fear, and epigastric auras. Group 1B included the hippocampal tail, temporal pole, and parahippocampal gyrus, and this subgroup correlated significantly with manual and oroalimentary automatisms. Group 2 consisted of the cortical structures of the temporal lobe and was also divided into two subgroups. Group 2A included the superior and middle temporal gyrus, correlated significantly with bilateral rictus\/facial contraction, generalized tonic\u2013clonic seizure, and manual automatisms. Group 2B included Heschl's gyrus, the inferior temporal gyrus, and the fusiform gyrus, and this subgroup correlated significantly with auditory auras, focal hypokinetics, unilateral upper and lower limbs tonic posture\/clonic signs, head\/eye deviation, unilateral versive signs, and generalized tonic\u2013clonic seizure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>The temporal structures can be categorized according to the level at which each structure participates in seizures, and different anatomical subgroups can be correlated with different ictal signs. Identifying specific semiologic features can help us localize the epileptogenic zone and thus develop stereoelectroencephalography electrode implantation and surgical resection protocols for patients
