Object naming after epilepsy surgery in the dominant left temporal lobe: risk factors, time course and long-term outcome
In our cohort, less than 50% of PWE showed significantly deteriorated naming function after resection of the dominant temporal lobe. If a decline occurred, it appeared to recover to a certain degree and remained as a permanent deficit in 26% of the patients. Long-term outcome of visual object naming can be predicted by the degree of early postoperative decline.
