Abstract

The most common approaches in the treatment of epilepsy, the trans-sylvian selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) and the anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) reach the medial temporal lobe through different surgical routes. Our aim was to delineate the white matter (WM) fiber tracts at risk in relation to trans-sylvian SAH and ATLR by defining each fascicle en route to medial temporal lobe during each approach. ATLR and trans-sylvian SAH were performedand related WM tracts en route to medial temporal region were presented in relation to the relevant approaches and surrounding neurovascular structures. The WM tracts most likely to be disrupted during trans-sylvian SAH along the roof of the temporal horn were the UF - and less commonly IFOF - at the layer of the external capsule, anterior commissure, anterior bend of optic radiations, and sublenticular internal capsule. Amygdaloid projections to the claustrum, putamen and globus pallidus, the tail of caudate and the peduncle of the lentiform nucleus were also in close proximity to the resection cavity. Fiber tracts most likely to be impaired during ATLR included the UF, ILF, IFOF, anterior commissure, optic radiations, and, less likely, the vertical ventral segment of the ar...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
