Atypical patterns of language activation in functional MRI (fMRI) are not unusual, particularly in patients with severe epilepsy. Still, the functional significance of these activations is under debate. We describe a case of a right-handed patient affected by drug-refractory right temporal lobe epilepsy in whom pre-surgical fMRI showed bilateral language activations, greater in the right hemisphere (RH).

Objective: To investigate whether Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) and Lafora body disease (LBD) can be differentiated on the basis of their neurophysiologic profiles.
Methods: Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), long-loop reflexes (LLRs), and the influence of conditioning nerve stimulation on the motor potentials evoked by transcranial stimulation in 8 patients with LBD and 10 patients with ULD were investigated.
Results: Both groups showed sensorimotor cortex hyperexcitability, but their electrophysiologic profiles were different.
