In addition, because the limbic lobe is not visible on the surface of the brain, the issue of choosing the safest surgical approach is paramount. - Much attention to surgical approach is included in this text.

From mesial temporal sclerosis, to glioma, to vascular lesions, all common pathologies are covered. - A comprehensive text to act as a compass when confronting limbic and paralimbic pathology because limbic pathology is not on the surface, the textbook describes the complex regional anatomy in a practical way for surgeons who must rely on local landmarks more than image guidance.
