Abstract

<h4 id="x-x-absSec_1"> Objective </h4> The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between language and memory lateralization in patients with <a> epilepsy </a> undergoing the intracarotid <a> amobarbital </a> procedure. <h4 id="x-x-absSec_2"> Methods </h4> In 386 patients, language lateralization and memory lateralization as determined by laterality index (LI) were correlated with each other. <h4 id="x-x-absSec_3"> Results </h4> Language lateralization and memory lateralization were positively correlated ( r = 0.34, P < 0.01). Correlations differed depending on the presence and type of lesion ( χ 2 = 7.98, P < 0.05). LIs correlated significantly higher ( z = 2.82, P < 0.05) in patients with cortical <a> dysplasia </a> ( n = 41, r = 0.61, P < 0.01) compared with the group without lesions ( n = 90, r = 0.16, P > 0.05), with patients with <a> hippocampal </a> sclerosis falling between these two groups. Both memory ( P < 0.01) and language ( P < 0.01) LIs were higher in right- compared with left-sided lesions. <h4 id="x-x-absSec_4"> Conclusion </h4> Correlation of language and memory is more pronounced in patients with structural lesions as compared with patients without lesions on <a> MRI </a> .
