27 year old female with epilepsy. Sensorimotor cortical activation of the hand, foot and face maps as expected along the pre- and post-central gyri. Visual cortical activation maps along the calcarine sulci.Of the tested language paradigms, the most reliable language related cortical activation is seen with the sentence completion and rhyming paradigms. Language is left dominant. Putative Broca's area activation maps to the left inferior frontal gyrus (pars opercularis and pars triangularis). Putative Wernicke's area activation maps along the posterior aspect of the left superior temporal sulcus.
Successful functional MRI for presurgical planning. The sensorimotor and primary visual cortices are well delineated. Language is left dominant. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are visualized in their customary locations.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
