Minimally Invasive Removal of Deep Temporal Lobe Tumors (Tumors of the Amygdala and Hippocampus) The temporal lobes are located inside the “temples”, one on each side, in the cranial cavity known as the middle cranial fossa. The deep temporal lobes, as the name implies, are the structures further inside the temporal lobes, of which the hippocampus is one. The temporal lobe hippocampus, so named because of its resemblance to a small marine animal, the seahorse. (Note: Seahorse, a collective name for several small species of warm-sea fish in the family Hylidae of the order Acanthuridae, is a small marine animal, 5-30 centimeters in length. Named for the head curved at nearly right angles to the body, the head is in the shape of a horse’s head while forming an angle with the body, the muzzle is long and tubular, the mouth is small, and there is one dorsal fin, all composed of flippers. The eyes can each move independently.) This structure can also be clearly seen in the cranial MRI examination, please see the following picture (the black arrow points to the hippocampus, the light blue arrow points to the amygdala): these two structures belong to the deep temporal lobe of the important structures, between these two structures, the butterfly-like thing, is the legendary “brain stem” life center, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem, the brainstem and the brainstem. It’s a very important structure in our body. So, how do you remove a tumor that’s growing in this area, so deep, without damaging so many important structures around it? Luckily, there is a way from the surface of the brain to this area, called the “lateral fissure”, and although this path is thorny and difficult to navigate, it is much better than no path at all. The neurosurgeon successfully removes the tumor through this difficult path, with the help of many highly sophisticated techniques and equipment.
