Finally the diversity of pathology that is found in this region is addressed. 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.
