Yet, they carry risks of lateral temporal damage to both neocortical and white matter structures, including the optic radiations. This video details a case of endoscopic transorbital amygdalohippocampectomy performed to resect an epileptogenic lesion. This approach offers minimally invasive access to the medial temporal lobe along its longitudinal axis, while preserving the lateral temporal area. Postoperative MRI showed resection of most of the amygdala, including its superior portion, and the hippocampus up to the tectal plate. This minimally invasive technique provides a promising alternative to traditional open surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    The video can be found here:\n                    <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/stream.cadmore.media\/r10.3171\/2025.1.FOCVID24198\">https:\/\/stream.cadmore.media\/r10.3171\/2025.1.FOCVID24198<\/jats:ext-link>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2025.1.focvid24198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]],"date-time":"2025-04-03T04:38:49Z","timestamp":1743655129000},"page":"V13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Endoscopic transorbital amygdalohippocampectomy for the resection of an epileptogenic lesion"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sami","family":"Obaid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University of Montreal Hospital Center (CHUM), Montr\u00e9al;"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Montreal;"},{"name":"University of Montreal Hospital Center Research Center (CRCHUM), Montr\u00e9al;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tristan","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin S.","family":"Kahozi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University of Montreal Hospital Center (CHUM), Montr\u00e9al;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Th\u00e9aud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Montreal Hospital Center Research Center (CRCHUM), Montr\u00e9al;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B\u00e9atrice","family":"Voizard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Montreal;"},{"name":"Divisions of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Montreal Sacred Heart Hospital, Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Lavergne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Montreal;"},{"name":"Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Montreal Sacred Heart Hospital, Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"1085","article-title":"Microsurgical anatomy and the inner architecture of the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation demonstrated through fiber microdissection","volume":"142","author":"Goga C","year":"2025","unstructured":"Goga C, Serra C, T\u00fcre U.
