A 40-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department 30 minutes after sustaining severe chest injuries in a motor vehicle collision. Despite appropriate treatment, she dies 1 hour later. She had a 25-year history of a well-controlled seizure disorder. A photograph of a coronal section of the brain obtained at autopsy is shown. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's seizure disorder?

a. Glioblastoma multiforme
b. Herpes simplex encephalitis
c. Mesial temporal sclerosis (wrong)
d. Neonatal ischemic stroke
e. Vascular malformation

i put B, which is wrong. Can someone plz tell the correct answer and explain too?
Read E some where but that does nt make sense to me :o

You can't tell the answer without seeing the photograph, so I think the photograph indicates the answer. And also having seizures for 25 years indicates some chronic well tolerated condition ( so for example anawers A and B would be ruled out )
