Repeated intracarotid amobarbital tests.
RATIONALE Our goal was to determine the frequency of repeated intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT) at our center and to estimate the retest reliability of the IAT for both language and memory lateralization. METHODS A total of 1,249 consecutive IATs on 1,190 patients were retrospectively reviewed for repeat tests. RESULTS In 4% of patients the IAT was repeated in order to deliver satisfactor...
متن کاملAnosognosia and asomatognosia during intracarotid amobarbital inactivation.
BACKGROUND Anosognosia (i.e., denial of hemiparesis) and asomatognosia (i.e., inability to recognize the affected limb as one's own) occur more frequently with right cerebral lesions. However, the incidence, relative recovery, and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS Anosognosia and asomatognosia were examined in 62 patients undergoing the intracarotid amobarbital procedure as part o...
متن کاملComparing the Fused Dichotic Words Test and the Intracarotid Amobarbital Procedure in children with epilepsy.
The validity of the Fused Dichotic Words Test (FDWT) in predicting the nature of speech representation, as determined by the Intracarotid Amobarbital Procedure (IAP), was examined in a sample of 28 children with epilepsy. Various methods of analysis (difference score, lambda, and lambda(*)), for the FDWT data were calculated and compared. Results showed the validity of the FDWT did not change d...
متن کاملEffects 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 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...
