Effects of topiramate on memory performance on the intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) test.
We evaluated the effects of topiramate (TPM) on memory function in the intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) test in nine patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) whose antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) included TPM and compared their scores with those of 16 patients with MTLE on AEDs not including TPM. Sodium amobarbital was injected first into the hemisphere ipsilateral to the seizure focus and ...
متن کاملThe intracarotid amobarbital procedure (Wada test) with two protocols combined, Montreal and Seattle.
The intracarotid amobarbital procedure was carried out in 8 male and 7 female candidates to temporal lobectomy, and a female candidate to frontal lesionectomy, aged 18-50 (mean 32.5) years. Language and memory were tested after injection in each hemisphere. Both were measured by the Montreal procedure. In 9 patients language and memory were evaluated with the Seattle procedure too. In 12 patien...
متن کاملMemory performance is related to language dominance as determined by the intracarotid amobarbital procedure.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between language and memory lateralization in patients with epilepsy undergoing the intracarotid amobarbital procedure. METHODS In 386 patients, language lateralization and memory lateralization as determined by laterality index (LI) were correlated with each other. RESULTS Language lateralization and memory lateralization wer...
متن کاملLanguage assessment in Wada test: Comparison of methohexital and amobarbital
INTRODUCTION Methohexital has replaced amobarbital during Wada testing at many centers. The objective of our study was to compare the use of methohexital and amobarbital during Wada testing regarding language and memory lateralization quotients as well as speech arrest times. METHODS A chart review of 582 consecutive patients undergoing 1041 Wada-procedures was performed (left=60, right=63, b...
متن کاملWada memory asymmetry scores and postoperative memory outcome in left temporal epilepsy
BACKGROUND Memory asymmetry scores are used in intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) to predict memory outcome after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Reversed asymmetry (RA) of memory scores occurs in a minority of patients, with better memory performance observed following contralateral injection. Left ATL patients with RA are reported to have...
