ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

Patients that undergo epilepsy surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in the dominant hemisphere are more susceptible to naming deficits. The aim of the present study was to perform an observational retrospective study comparing two groups of patients for naming performance, those with left and right temporal lobe resections regarding the performance in naming by Boston Naming Test (BNT).

METHODS:

A total of 120 right-handed patients (52 right temporal lobe and 68 left temporal lobe), aged between 18 and 59, with pharmacoresistant mesial TLE were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent pre and postoperative neuropsychological assessment. RESULTS AND

CONCLUSIONS:

The BNT was a good predictor for possible post-surgical language deficits in patients submitted to left temporal lobectomy.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Pacientes submetidos a cirurgia de epilepsia portadores de epilepsia do lobo temporal (ELT) em hemisfério dominante são mais suscetíveis a apresentarem déficits de nomeação. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar um estudo retrospectivo observacional comparando dois grupos de pacientes sendo um grupo submetido a lobectomia temporal dominante e outro a lobectomia temporal não dominante em relação ao desempenho na tarefa de nomeação através do Boston Naming Test (BNT).

METÓDOS:

Um total de 120 pacientes destros foram retrospectivamente analisados (52 temporal direito e 68 temporal esquerdo) com idade entre 18 e 59 anos, com epilepsia do lobo temporal mesial fármaco resistente. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a avaliação neuropsicológica pré e pós-operatória utilizando o BNT para medida de nomeação. RESULTADOS E

CONCLUSÕES:

O BNT foi mostrou-se um bom instrumento para predizer possíveis déficits de linguagem em pacientes submetidos a lobectomia temporal esquerda.
