Amygdalohippocampectomy is a surgical procedure for the treatment of epilepsy. It consists of the removal of the hippocampus, which has a role in memory, spatial awareness, and navigation, and the amygdalae, which have a role in the processing and memory of emotional reactions, both structures forming part of the limbic system of the brain. Amygdalohippocampectomy is used only when all other treatment options have failed to resolve the epilepsy. It is an effective treatment for most patients. However, possible adverse side effects include impaired memory and defects in visual perception.

  • L'ablation des amygdales du cerveau ou amygdalectomie est une opération qui n'est plus pratiquée de nos jours. Chez le singe, on avait noté que l'ablation bilatérale des amygdales réduisaient l'agressivité et qu'ils n'avaient plus peur des stimuli qui les effrayaient auparavant. Chez l'humain, elle a été pratiquée en traitement de l'épilepsie. En psychiatrie, elle a aussi été pratiquée dans le but de réduire l'agressivité et les peurs incontrôlables, mais avec des résultats peu probants (cette opération produisait une , et plusieurs effets secondaires viscéraux et endocriniens).

  • A amigdalohipocampectomia é um procedimento cirúrgico para o tratamento da epilepsia. Consiste na remoção do hipocampo, que desempenha um papel na memória, consciência espacial e navegação, e as amígdalas, que desempenham um papel no processamento e memória das reações emocionais, ambas as estruturas fazem parte da o sistema límbico do cérebro. A amigdalohipocampectomia é usada somente quando todas as outras opções de tratamento não conseguiram resolver a epilepsia. É um tratamento eficaz para a maioria dos pacientes. No entanto, os possíveis efeitos colaterais adversos incluem memória prejudicada e defeitos na percepção visual. (pt)
