Postictal Language Dysfunction in Complex Partial Seizures: Effect of Contralateral Ictal Spread Neurol 56:1590-1592, Ficker,D.M.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors report postictal language evaluation in patients monitored with bitemporal depth electrodes. Patients whose seizures began in the nondominant temporal lobe and propagated to the contralateral temporal lobe had a prolonged postic tal language delay (PILD) with paraphasic errors compared with seizures that did not spread. Shorter propagation time was also associated with a longer PILD. Our study suggests that ictal involvement of the dominant temporal lobe is important in postict al language behavior.
