Table 3.
Neuropsychological outcome comparison between dominant and nondominant SelAH and ATL surgical groups.
| Dominant SelAH (n = 8) |
Dominant ATL (n = 12) |
Nondominant SelAH (n = 9) |
Nondominant ATL (n = 25) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change verbal memory PC | −0.7 (1.3) | −0.5 (0.8) | 0.2 (0.5) | 0.4 (0.7) |
| Change visuospatial memory PC | 0.2 (0.6) | 0.3 (0.8) | 0.1 (1.2) | 0.3 (1.0) |
| Change IQ PC | −0.4 (0.9) | 0.0 (0.8) | −0.2 (0.7) | 0.1 (1.0) |
| Change BNT | −1.0 (7.0) | −4.0 (8.6) | 0.1 (2.7) | −0.6 (4.7) |
Note: change in BNT for the dominant ATL group is based on N = 11. PC: principal component score; BNT is postop-preop total score. Mean and standard deviation for PC and naming scores; no differences are observed between SelAH and ATL in the dominant groups or in the nondominant groups (P > 0.31).
