Accurate preoperative evaluation of language dominance is critical when evaluating potential patients for temporal lobe epilepsy surgery. Although most people have left-sided language dominance, a minority of patients have been described with either bilateral or right hemispheric dominance. We present a patient with right temporal lobe epilepsy who presented with bilateral and functionally independent Broca areas, as confirmed by Wada testing and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
在评估颞叶癫痫手术的潜在患者时，准确的术前语言优势评估至关重要。尽管大多数人具有左侧语言优势，但少数患者被描述为具有双侧或右侧半球优势。我们报告了一名患有右侧颞叶癫痫的患者，经Wada测试和功能磁共振成像证实，该患者存在双侧且功能独立的布洛卡区。
