VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS IN SELECTIVE AMYGDALOHIPPOCAMPECTOMY FOR HIPPOCAMPAL SCLEROSIS

Abstract

We have shown that there is a considerable risk of having visual field deficits after standard transsylvian selective amygdalohippocampectomy owing to the interruption of the anterior bundle of the optic radiation fibers, which most likely occurs while opening the temporal horn through the inferior limiting sulcus of the insula.
