This present work consists on a study of temporal stem (TS) components after modified anterior temporal lobectomy (MAL) in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The aim of DTI analysis of TS is to evaluate the anatomical consequences of this non selective access to the integrity of white matter fibers. Despite MAL has been proposed as a selective approach to spare the temporal stem and its fibers we could find some anatomic damage to the anterior part of the TS.
