OBJECTIVE Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common type of focal
epilepsy in adolescents and adults, and in 65% of cases, it is related to hippocampal
sclerosis (HS). Selective surgical approaches to the treatment of MTLE have as their main
goal resection of the amygdala and hippocampus with minimal damage to the neocortex,
temporal stem, and optic radiations (ORs). The object of this study was to evaluate late
postoperative imaging findings on the temporal lobe from a structural point of view …

Objectives: To define the postoperative consequences to the temporal lobe (TL), from the
structural point of view, through imaging methods. Methods: We performed a retrospective
evaluation of 56 patients with refractory TLE who underwent surgical treatment with selective
amygdalohippocampectomy techniques: transinsular (TI) in 29 patients and transuncus (TU)
in 27 patients. The surgical group was compared to a control group of 30 adults with TLE
and indication of surgical treatment but not submitted to the procedure. The inferior fronto …
