Anterior Temporal Lobectomy - Adverse effects
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Anterior Temporal Lobectomy'A neurosurgical procedure that removes the anterior TEMPORAL LOBE including the medial temporal structures of CEREBRAL CORTEX; AMYGDALA; HIPPOCAMPUS; and the adjacent PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS. This procedure is generally used for the treatment of intractable temporal epilepsy (EPILEPSY, TEMPORAL LOBE). Common names: Anterior Temporal Lobectomy; Lobectomy, Anterior Temporal |
