Objective
We aimed to predict language deficits after epilepsy surgery. In addition to evaluating surgical factors examined previously, we determined the impact of the extent of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation that was resected on naming ability.
Method
Thirty‐five adults (mean age 37.5 ± 10.9 years, 13 male) with temporal lobe epilepsy completed a preoperative fMRI auditory...
Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is the standard surgical treatment for medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). While seizure outcome is favorable, cognitive outcomes are a concern, particularly in respect of memory and naming. A systematic review of the literature on the naming outcomes of ATL is presented in this article. Searches were conducted on PubMed and PsycInfo, yielding a total...
Standard temporal resection in the left hemisphere carries the risk of postoperative naming ability decline, especially with later epilepsy onset age/absence of hippocampal sclerosis. Language mapping has been performed routinely at some centers to minimize postoperative primary language impairment, but its effect on changes in naming performance has not been explored. This study examined naming outcome...
