title: Ipsilateral symptomatology in left temporal lobe lesions.
abstract: Two cases of ipsilateral symptomatology related to left temporal lobe lesions are presented. The possibility of ipsilateral symptoms after temporal lobe lesions has to be considered, mainly when they occur in the dominant hemisphere. Direct or indirect damage to the insula of Reil's sensory-motor secondary area seems to be the motive of these ipsilateral symptoms.
