Abstract EN

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in children is a slightly different entity than TLE in adults not only because of its semiology and pathology but also because of the different approach to surgical treatment.

Presurgical investigations for eloquent cortex, especially language, must take these differences into account.

Most diagnostic tests were created for adults, and many of the assessment tools need to be adapted for children because they are not just small adults.

This paper will highlight the specific challenges and solutions in mapping language in a pediatric population with TLE.
