The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is a highly complex neuroanatomical structure of tremendous neurosurgical importance. It is a common site for epilepsy, vascular lesions, and tumors. Owing to the critical location behind the sphenoid wing, it is more prone for traumatic contusion often with surgical implications. Hence, its microneurosurgical anatomy needs to be evaluated in detail.
