Functional MRI of Language-Related Activation in Left Frontal Schizencephaly

Functional MRI of Language-Related Activation in Left Frontal Schizencephaly Brain activation associated with covert verb generation was studied in a right-handed patient with an asymptomatic left frontal schizencephaly by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Activation of the dysplastic neuronal tissue lining the cleft and the adjacent cortex was found, indicating participation of the malformed region in physiologic cerebral functions. This finding may have clinical impact in patients with medically intractable seizures due to malformations of the cortical development prior to epilepsy surgery. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Brain activation associated with covert verb generation was studied in a right-handed patient with an asymptomatic left frontal schizencephaly by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Activation of the dysplastic neuronal tissue lining the cleft and the adjacent cortex was found, indicating participation of the malformed region in physiologic cerebral functions. This finding may have clinical impact in patients with medically intractable seizures due to malformations of the cortical development prior to epilepsy surgery.
