Abstract:
Minimally invasive surgery is gaining increasing interest in epilepsy surgery. In this video, the authors present the endoscopic transorbital approach for an epileptogenic lesion located at the temporal tip. The patient was a man in his 40s who has had intractable focal impaired awareness seizures and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures since he was 31 years of age. According to the preoperative examination, including stereotactic electroencephalography, a cavernous angioma located at the tip of the right temporal lobe was diagnosed as an epileptogenic lesion. Lesionectomy for this lesion was performed using the endoscopic transorbital approach as minimally invasive surgery and a favorable outcome was achieved.
