Morphological and metabolic imaging before and after surgery. (A-C) Before surgery. (D-F After surgery. (A): Coronal slices, top to bottom, anterior to posterior hippocampus:T2 MRI; (B) Axial Slices (T2 MRI) showing right hippocampal sclerosis; (C): Fusion between T2 MRI (hippocampal axis) and FDG-PET (hippocampal axis) showing right medial hypometabolism. (D) Coronal slices, top to bottom, anterior to posterior hippocampus:T2 MRI; (E-F) Axial slices (T1 MRI) of the right medial temporal area after selective surgery. Surgery left a porencephalic cavity with gliosis, limited to the right temporal region; right meningeal thickening and T1 contrast enhancement near amygdalo-hippocampal area (not shown). FDG-PET, F-18-fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.

Six months after surgery, the follow-up MRI showed only temporal post-operative sequelae (Figures 1D-F) and very limited residues of the amygdala and the remaining posterior part of the hippocampus (Figure 1).
