Explanation:
I haven't seen "mediotemporal pars plana" per say, but...
The pars plana is a ring-like structure, essentially the posterior edge of the ciliary body. The temporal side of the eye is the lateral side, opposite the nasal side. In this context, I would interpret mediotemporal to mean the anterior (medial) edge of the pars plana on the lateral side of the eye.

Another possible interpretation is that it should read "medial and temporal" pars plana - two injections through the pars plana on opposite sides of the eye. More context would be helpful.

Explanation:
I have never heard and can't find any reference to "medio temporal pars plana" (no hyphen by the way) in English. In any case, superior temporal and inferior temporal refer to quadrants - so obviously there cannot be a middle quadrant. I would imagine it means the point in between the sup. and inf. quadrants. IOW at 9 o'clock in the left eye or the 3 o'clock in the right eye.

  -> oh I see what you mean - medio meaning middle. Of course, and mediotemporal does exist (lobe) but not with respect to the pars plana AFAIK

neutral  Michael Barnett: You've got "temporal" right but "mid-temporal" means halfway between the centre of the visual field and the lateral extreme. That cannot apply to the pars plana because it does not exist there.
