The intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) has been used for more than half a century to determine language dominance and to assess risk for amnesia after anterior temporal lobectomy. However, because of the risk associated with angiography and the development of noninvasive techniques, the need for the IAP when evaluating patients for epilepsy surgery can now be questioned. The purpose of this review is to examine the clinical indications and efficacy of the Wada test in the preoperative evaluation of epilepsy surgery candidates. This article summarizes a debate that took place during the 2009 American Epilepsy Society (AES) annual course. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
