Anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) for refractory
epilepsy may cause a visual field deficit (VFD) that
precludes driving. We studied 21 patients undergoing
ATLR in an intraoperative MRI (iMRI) suite. Preoperative
tractography of optic radiation was displayed on the
navigation and operating microscope displays either
without (9 patients) or with (12 patients) correction
for brain shift. Display of the optic radiation during
surgery significantly reduced the degree of VFD and no
patient developed a VFD that precluded driving (compared
to 13% of a historical non-iMRI cohort). Outcome did not
differ between iMRI guidance with and without brain
shift correction.
