Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most common forms of focal epilepsy. Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) leading to high rate of seizure freedom is a safe and well-established procedure in TLEs. Cranial nerve deficits, especially for oculomotor, trochlear and facial nerve were reported as a complication after ATL. Nonetheless, trigeminal neuralgia due to ATL is a very rare complication documented in the literature. The surgeons performing ATL procedures must be aware of the risk of trigeminal nerve injury, avoid excessive electrocautery use in the medial part of middle fossa and provide clean surgery in there to prevent this rare complication.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004564 Electrocoagulation Procedures using an electrically heated wire or scalpel to treat hemorrhage (e.g., bleeding ulcers) and to ablate tumors, mucosal lesions, and refractory arrhythmias. It is different from ELECTROSURGERY which is used more for cutting tissue than destroying and in which the patient is part of the electric circuit.

D004833 Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the TEMPORAL LOBE, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p321).

D014277 Trigeminal Neuralgia A syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of excruciating pain lasting several seconds or longer in the sensory distribution of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE. Pain may be initiated by stimulation of trigger points on the face, lips, or gums or by movement of facial muscles or chewing. Associated conditions include MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, vascular anomalies, ANEURYSMS, and neoplasms.

D038481 Anterior Temporal Lobectomy A neurosurgical procedure that removes the anterior TEMPORAL LOBE including the medial temporal structures of CEREBRAL CORTEX; AMYGDALA; HIPPOCAMPUS; and the adjacent PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS. This procedure is generally used for the treatment of intractable temporal epilepsy (EPILEPSY, TEMPORAL LOBE). Lobectomy, Anterior Temporal
