Corticoamygdalohippocampectomy on the side of the mesial temporal sclerosis, consisting of cortical resection, including superior, middle, and inferior temporal lobes; fusiform and parahippocampal gyri, with its posterior border at the level of the central artery; total hippocampectomy; and resection of the intratemporal portion of the amygdala. The central artery was used as the landmark for the posterior border of the cortical resection (a proportional method), instead of distances measured from the tip of the temporal lobe (a quantitative method) |
