MRI images before (left) and after (right) surgery. Before surgery, MRI reveals a left cavernoma located at the junction of the left uncus/amygdala. After surgery, MRI shows left medial temporal lobe resection (sparing hippocampus). The images are shown in neurological convention (left hemisphere to the left). Abbreviation: LH, left hemisphere.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a left cavernoma located at the junction between the amygdala and the anterior part of the parahippocampal gyrus at the level of the uncus (see Fig. 1). Surgical treatment was considered to stop seizures and consisted of left anterior temporal resection sparing the hippocampus (see Fig. 1).
