Cognition in adults with bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia and the consequences of focal resection
In adults with BOSD, an earlier age of seizure onset is accompanied by a greater degree of cognitive comorbidity. Naming is commonly affected, particularly for those with left sided BOSDs. Executive dysfunction is common, particularly for patients with a frontal BOSD. Focal lesionectomy is associated with favourable seizure outcome and is cognitively safe with potential for improvement in processing speed.
