“…The neurologic complications of Wada testing have been well documented in the literature. These include stroke, seizure, retinal artery occlusion, and emotional liability (8, 9). The patient presented here suffered a radiographically documented stroke during his Wada testing.…”

The authors report on a patient with a long history of medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. During pre-operative evaluation for anterior temporal lobectomy he underwent a Wada test for speech and memory lateralization. During the procedure, he suffered a focal cerebral infarct, within the right medial temporal lobe, at the site of the epileptic focus. This resulted in the resolution of his seizure disorder. The possibility of endovascular management of seizure disorders of the temporal lobe should be investigated further as a potentially minimal invasive therapeutic option for medically intractable epilepsy.

“…First, as mentioned before, one major disadvantage of the IAT is that the procedure is highly invasive and quite uncomfortable for most patients. More importantly, there is a certain risk of morbidity, even death, due to complications resulting from the intracarotid cathetization (Loddenkemper et al 2002; Muller et al 2000). A major drawback for language assessment is that the procedure requires a verbal response of the patient.…”

Non‐invasive alternatives to the Wada test in the presurgical evaluation of language and memory functions in epilepsy patients

The cognitive outcome of the surgical removal of an epileptic focus depends on the assessment of the localisation and functional capacity of language and memory areas which need to be spared by the neurosurgeon. Traditionally, presurgical evaluation of epileptic patients has been achieved by means of the intracarotid amobarbital test assisted by neuropsychological measures. However, the advent of neuroimaging techniques has provided new ways of assessing these functions by means of non‐invasive or minimally invasive methods, such as anatomical and functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, single‐photon emission computed tomography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional transcranial Doppler monitoring, magnetoencephalography and near infrared spectroscopy. This paper aims at comparing and evaluating the traditional and recent preoperative approaches from a neuropsychological perspective.

Maculo-papillary branch retinal artery occlusions following the Wada test

Abstract: Branch retinal artery occlusions are a possible complication of the Wada test, possibly induced by undissolved contrast medium or sodium amytal.
