Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis is the most common form of partial epilepsy. The aim of this work is to find a suitable biomarker that can help with the diagnosis and prognosis of this intractable form of epilepsy. To achieve this aim, 30 patients with complex partial seizures and 30 controls with ages from 4-30 years were subjected to a battery of laboratory analysis including: S100B protein, Matrix Metalloproteinase 9, C-Reactive protein, prolactin, together with neurophysiological, radiological and psychometric assessments
