Classically mesiotemporal lesions are approached from the lateral temporal approach, which frequently injures the visual and language tracts. We present the posterior approach through which the language tracts and visual tracts at the roof and lateral wall of the temporal horn (Meyer loop) can be avoided, minimizing the risk of neurologic injury.The patient, a 32-year-old man, presented with the chief complaint of experiencing seizures for 6 years with rare, generalized, tonic-clonic seizures. Physical examination showed no neurologic deficits and past medical history was not remarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left mesiotemporal lesion, which showed no contrast enhancement and infiltrated the atrium.For surgery, the patient was laid in prone position and a tailored bone flap was lifted. Next the occipital lobe was retracted gently to expose the lesion. Penfield dissectors were used to gradually resect the lesion. The roof and inner wall of the atrium were exposed during resection. These structures were protected. Residues of the lesion and its capsule were seen attached to the lateral ventricle and were carefully coagulated and removed. The hippocampus was also exposed and a small segment resected. Exposure of the roof and inner wall of the atrium confirmed that the entire lesion has been resected.Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging evaluation confirmed a total resection of the lesion. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst. Cognitive evaluation results showed no postoperative deficiencies and his visual field was also not affected by the surgery.Informed patient content was obtained (Video 1).
