Presurgical assessment of memory-related brain structures: the Wada test and functional neuroimaging

Abstract: Medial temporal lobe structures are known to play a major role in memory processing. Recent work has revealed that extratemporal structures (e.g. the frontal lobe and thalamus) may also be important in memory function. In candidates for epilepsy surgery, particularly in those with temporal lobe seizures, presurgical evaluation of memory function is essential, since seizures may originate in the neural substrate that is critical for memory. In this article, we review the tools used for presurgical evaluation an… Show more

“…The location of depth electrodes was verified by postimplantation skull X-ray, brain CT or MRI. The type, number and location of the electrodes were determined by the suspected location of the ictal onset region, according to non-invasive evaluation: clinical history, scalp EEG recordings obtained with the Maudsley system [30,31], neuropsychology [32] and neuroimaging. The selection criteria and implantation procedure have been described elsewhere [25].…”

“…Nach Operation der nicht sprach-dominanten Seite wurden Defizite des visuellen Gedächtnisses beschrieben [19]. Zur Abschätzung der postoperativen Gedächtnis-leistung kann der WADA-Test durchgeführt werden, bei dem nach einseitiger, intracarotidaler Amobarbital-Gabe unter anderem die Gedächtnisleistung getestet wird [20]. Der Test kann zusätzlich die sprachdominante Hemisphere bestimmen, hilfreich zur Lateralisation der epileptogenen Zone sein und besitzt einen gewissen prädiktiven Wert für das Outcome nach einer Operation.…”

“…Por isso, testagem de memória é realizada de rotina na avaliação pré-operatória em centros de referência para cirurgia da epilepsia. Medidas de lateralização de memória podem ajudar na avaliação da reserva funcional em ambos os lados e na definição quanto à indicação ou não de cirurgia e até que ponto estender a ressecção (5) .…”

“…Como um teste de memória, no entanto, o TAS sofre diversas ressalvas: tem resolução espacial e temporal pobre; ainda não está claro se o seu efeito é causado por desativação direta ou por deaferentação de estruturas do LTM (particularmente as regiões posteriores, supridas pela circulação posterior) (8) ; não pode ser prontamente repetido (9) ; é invasivo (acarretando em riscos relacionados à cateterização (10) ). Mesmo assim, porque o TAS simula os efeitos da ablação cirúrgica, e em função da experiência de diversos centros com o exame, ele é considerado padrão-ouro para avaliação pré-operatória de lateralização de memória (5) .…”
