Language is assumed to be lateralized to the left brain hemisphere. Most of the patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy usually have language deficits, associated with the disease. In extra temporal lobe epilepsy, frontal lobe lesion affects some of the language components as well memory. Effectiveness of language reorganisation in LTLE and ETLE patients in surgery planning is studied.
