The inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) approach is a transtemporal approach.

Selective amygdalohippocampectomy.

A limited access ITG approach performed with intraoperative image guidance offers an alternative corridor for resection of temporal mediobasal tumor (Schramm Type A). This approach may be technically less demanding than the transsylvian approach or subtemporal approach. Gross-total resection is feasible utilizing this approach and compares favorably with other, more classical approaches 1).
