Resection of dominant fusiform gyrus is associated with decline of naming function when temporal lobe epilepsy manifests after the age of five: A voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping study

Abstract

Resections in the posterior part of the dominant fusiform and inferior temporal gyrus was associated with a risk of deterioration in naming performance at six months after surgery in patients with epilepsy onset after 5 years of age but not with earlier epilepsy onset.
