Carnevale JA, Goldberg JL, Schwartz T.
PMID: 34600159
World Neurosurg. 2021 Sep 29;157:54-55. doi: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.09.097. Epub 2021 Sep 29.

A 31-year-old male with history of bipolar disorder, suicidal attempts requiring inpatient hospitalization, and seizures on antiepileptic medications presented with increasing seizure frequency. He was neurologically intact yet had multiple facial, axillary, and inguinal flat pigmented macules (cafe au...

Hanjani K, Fatehi M, Schmidt N, Aghakhani Y, Redekop GJ.
PMID: 33504401
Can J Neurol Sci. 2021 Jan 28;1-7. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2021.16. Epub 2021 Jan 28.

Epilepsy surgery has progressed significantly in the last 150 years. Functional brain maps allowed for the localization of epileptogenic lesions based on seizure patterns, allowing surgeons like McEwan and Horsely to treat epilepsy surgically. Berger's electroencephalogram marked the first...

Comparison of Language and Memory Lateralization by Functional MRI and Wada Test in Epilepsy.

Frontiers in neurology and neuroscience research

Htet NN, Pizarro R, Nair VA, Chu DY, Meier T, Tunnell E, Rutecki P, Hermann B, Meyerand EM, Prabhakaran V.
PMID: 34189523
Front Neurol Neurosci Res. 2021;2. Epub 2021 Apr 16.

The intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure (ISAP or Wada test) lateralizes cerebral functions to the cerebral hemispheres preoperatively. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is increasingly used to characterize preoperative language and memory lateralization. In this study, concordance of fMRI with...

Death attributed to amobarbital and levomepromazine intoxication.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)

Hino Y, Ikeda N, Kudo K, Tsuji A, Sannohe S.
PMID: 12935515
Leg Med (Tokyo). 1999 Sep;1(1):48-51. doi: 10.1016/s1344-6223(99)80011-x.

A 29-year-old man, possibly a schizophrenic patient, was found dead 9 h after admission to a hospital. Autopsy revealed neither significant injuries nor diseases except for congestion of all organs. Microscopic examination revealed severe edema in the lung and...

The lesioned brain: still a small-world?.

Frontiers in human neuroscience

Douw L, van Dellen E, Baayen JC, Klein M, Velis DN, Alpherts WC, Heimans JJ, Reijneveld JC, Stam CJ.
PMID: 21120140
Front Hum Neurosci. 2010 Nov 11;4:174. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2010.00174. eCollection 2010.

The intra-arterial amobarbital procedure (IAP or Wada test) is used to determine language lateralization and contralateral memory functioning in patients eligible for neurosurgery because of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. During unilateral sedation, functioning of the contralateral hemisphere is assessed by means...

A case report of a Wada test after dominant hemisphere multiple hippocampal transections: Pathophysiology of confusion after amobarbital injection.

Epilepsy & behavior case reports

Landazuri P, Miller J, Lüders H.
PMID: 25667890
Epilepsy Behav Case Rep. 2014 Jun 14;2:130-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ebcr.2014.05.003. eCollection 2014.

Dialepsis is defined as a predominant alteration of consciousness with preservation of motor tone and the ability to perform movements. While dialepsis is a common feature of both focal and generalized epilepsies, its precise symptomatogenic zone and pathogenesis remain...

The impact of cannabis use on intracarotid amobarbital testing.

Epilepsy & behavior reports

Domen CH, Shrestha A, Chapman K, Drees C.
PMID: 31497755
Epilepsy Behav Rep. 2019 Jun 24;12:100328. doi: 10.1016/j.ebr.2019.100328. eCollection 2019.

Chronic cannabis use impacts memory functioning, even while users are not acutely intoxicated. The impact of cannabis use on Wada or intracarotid amobarbital testing (IAT) has not previously been described. We reviewed cannabis consumption in epilepsy patients undergoing IAT...

Bilateral Memory Dysfunction in Epilepsy Surgery Candidates Detected by the Intracarotid Amobarbital Procedure (Wada Memory Test).

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B

Diaz-Arrastia R, Frol AB, Garcia MC, Agostini MA, Chason DP, Lacritz LH, Cullum CM, Van Ness PC.
PMID: 12609357
Epilepsy Behav. 2002 Feb;3(1):82-91. doi: 10.1006/ebeh.2001.0298.

The intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) is widely used in the evaluation of candidates for resective epilepsy surgery, in part to identify patients at risk for postoperative amnesia. Yet there is no widely accepted standardized protocol, and there is a...

Integration of Perceptual and Mnemonic Dysfunction: Sensory Auras Are Associated with Left Hemispheric Memory Impairment.

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B

Weinand ME, Labiner DM, Ahern GL.
PMID: 12609279
Epilepsy Behav. 2001 Oct;2(5):423-432. doi: 10.1006/ebeh.2001.0236.

Memory function during the intracarotid amobarbital test was studied to test the hypothesis that left hemisphere memory impairment is associated with sensory auras. In a series of 37 patients undergoing preoperative evaluation for epilepsy surgery, the quantitative memory scores...

Sulpholane as a solvent for titration of barbiturates and sulpha drugs.

Talanta

Buxton TL, Caruso JA.
PMID: 18961269
Talanta. 1973 Feb;20(2):254-6. doi: 10.1016/0039-9140(73)80281-4.

Sulpholane (tetramethylenesulphone) has been used as the medium for non-aqueous potentiometric titration of barbiturates and sulpha drugs with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Recoveries for 0.1-0.3 mmole of barbituric acid, phenobarbital, amobarbital, barbital, secobarbital, sulphapyridine, sulphadiazine and sulphamerazine were generally in the...

Sex differences in material-specific cognitive functions related to language dominance: an intracarotid amobarbital study in left temporal lobe epilepsy.

Laterality. 1999 Jan;4(1):51-63. doi: 10.1080/713754322.

Population-based studies of material-specific cognitive functions yield evidence of sex differences: women are superior on verbal tasks whereas men are superior on figural and visuo-spatial tasks. Although there is still no direct evidence, these sex differences have been assumed...
