Drug refractory epilepsy (DRE) patients have atypical language lateralization with ipsilateral and contra lateral hemispheric lesions and pathological abnormalities.

We observed greater improvement in language skills in ETLE-patients with correspondingly greater recruitment of the bilateral hemisphere.
