Résumé

Recent voxel-based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM) studies have identified a critical region for picture naming, located 3.4 to 6.1 cm from the temporal pole. Its resection during left temporal lobe epilepsy surgery led to postoperative decline in picture naming. However, postoperative anomia has been reported after classic left temporal lobectomy, which rarely extends so posteriorly. The aim of the present study was to evaluate patients' postoperative picture naming outcome on the basis of their precise surgical cavities in light of the recent findings from VLSM studies.
