VIVE, Jorge; D'ALFONSO, Leonardo; MAKSYMENKO, Silvia  and  BENDERSKY, Mariana. Bases anatómicas para el abordaje al lóbulo temporal. Rev. argent. neurocir. [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.1, pp.13-17. ISSN 1850-1532.

Objective: to compare the sizes of the temporal lobe gyrus, between both hemispheres, involved in epilepsy surgery. Method: we studied 11 cadaveric human brains measuring, in both hemispheres, hight, width and length of the first 3 temporal gyrus and the usual surgical lines used to limit temporal lobectomies. The statistical analysis was made with the Student test (CI 95% - alpha 0.05). Results: we did not observe significative differences between the measures obtained from the temporal gyrus and the surgical lines in both hemispheres. Conclusion: the differences in the measurements of the temporal gyrus and the surgical lines between both hemispheres were not significative.

Keywords : Anatomy; Epilepsy; Surgery; Temporal lobe.
