Overview

The differentiation of the temporal lobe into a lateral neocortical and a medial allocortical region is supported by developmental, anatomical and clinical evidence. Although this view of a dual temporal lobe is generally accepted by neurosurgeons dealing with functional surgery, it still receives little attention by those approaching structural abnormalities located or extending into the medio-basal region. Consequently, the characterization of the temporo-medial area as a distinct surgical region is still lacking. The major object of this study is to analyze the medial part of the temporal lobe as a distinct surgical region and to integrate the microsurgical and physiological aspects into a concept applicable to the several types of temporo-medial lesion. The book includes five sections. The first section is devoted to the morphological aspects the second and the third sections present a simplified clinical approach to temporo-medial lesions and analyse the ancillary investigations which are indispensable for characterizing their structural and functional features.
