RESUMEN
Presurgical evaluation of refractory epilepsy involves functional investigations to minimize postoperative deficit. Assessing language and memory is conventionally undertaken using Wada and fMRI, and occasionally supplemented by data from invasive intracranial electroencephalography, such as electrical stimulation, corticortical evoked potentials, mapping of high frequency activity and phase amplitude coupling. We describe the comparative and complementary role of these methods to inform surgical decision-making and functional prognostication. We used Wada paradigm to standardize testing across all modalities. Postoperative neuropsychological testing confirmed deficit predicted based on these methods.
