Abstract
Atypical language localization frequently occurs in pediatric patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Previous studies have not analyzed potential cognitive differences related to type of underlying structural pathology nor have they explored organization of receptive language networks.
The aim of our study was to evaluate differences in language organization between children with intractable epilepsy caused by temporal lobe focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and those with dual pathology (i.e., temporal lobe FCD as well as hippocampal sclerosis).
