Some patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) experience language deficits. These linguistic impairments, affecting both left and right TLE, necessitate routine language function investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common focal epilepsy.
  • Language functions are crucial for daily life and are often affected in neurological disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate interictal language functions in patients with medically intractable left and right sided mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).

Main Methods:

  • Assessed spontaneous speech, language comprehension, naming, repetition, reading, writing, and word fluency.
  • Examined 12 patients with left TLE and 11 patients with right TLE.

Main Results:

  • Linguistic deficits were observed in both left and right TLE groups.
  • Older age at testing correlated with linguistic deficits (p = 0.003).

  • Qualitative analysis revealed naming errors unique to left TLE.

    • Conclusions:

    • Findings suggest neuronal damage and pathway disruption may cause linguistic deficits in TLE.
    • Routine investigation of language functions is recommended for patients with chronic mesial TLE.
