Language assessment in Wada test: Comparison of methohexital and amobarbital

open access: yesSeizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 2009
IntroductionMethohexital has replaced amobarbital during Wada testing at many centers. The objective of our study was to compare the use of methohexital and amobarbital during Wada testing regarding language and memory lateralization quotients as well as

Intracarotid Amobarbital (Wada) Test for Language Dominance: Correlation with Results of Cortical Stimulation

open access: yesEpilepsia, 1990
Summary Eighty‐eight patients had bilateral intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) testing to determine hemispheric dominance for language in preparation for epilepsy surgery, as well as unilateral extraoperative cortical electrical stimulation using subdural ...

Concordance between the Wada test and neuroimaging lateralization: Influence of imaging modality (fMRI and MEG) and patient experience [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsy and Behavior, 2018
The Wada test remains the traditional test for lateralizing language and memory function prior to epilepsy surgery. Functional imaging, particularly functional MRI (fMRI), has made progress in the language domain, but less so in the memory domain ...

The Wada test

Neurology, 1999
In 1949, Juhn Wada described the use of the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (i.e., Wada test) to determine cerebral language dominance.1 The procedure was later modified at the Montreal Neurological Institute to also assess hemispheric memory,2 and has become a standard component of presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery.

Anosognosia during Wada testing

Neurology, 1992
Anosognosia, the verbally explicit denial of hemiplegia, is more often reported after right- than left-hemisphere lesions. However, this asymmetric incidence of anosognosia may be artifactual and related to the aphasia that often accompanies left-hemisphere lesions.

Apraxia during Wada testing

Neurology, 1995
Apraxia is the loss of the ability to perform learned skilled movements correctly. In right-handers, apraxia and aphasia are most frequently associated with left-hemisphere lesions. When they are dissociated, however, aphasia is more common in the absence of apraxia than vice versa. There are two hypotheses that can account for this discrepancy: (1) in
