Overview

In a short communication, we describe a case of a 64 years old patient suffering from glioma of the entire length of the mediobasal temporal area of the right hemisphere. For its resection, we have selected paramedian supracerebellar-transtentorial approach that had to be supplemented with the minimally invasive suboccipital approach. We discuss an anatomical aspect, surgical details and limits of this elegant approach to the mediobasal temporal area, the frequent target of cancer and epilepsy surgeries.

Key words:
brain glioma – epilepsy – hippocampus – temporal lobe
