See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a patient with paroxysmal aphasia evoked by ictal epileptiform discharges localized to the left fusiform gyrus,where a small brain tumor existed.The intracranial EEG recordings during other seizures demonstrated a close functional link between the left fusiform gyrus and Wernicke's area.The patient also showed transient aphasia with electrical stimulation of the left fusiform gyrus.
