The aim of the present work was to study the causes and structure of interictal cognitive and emotionalpersonality impairments in children with different types of epilepsy. A total of 40 children were studied, aged from eight to 18 years. Symptomatic epilepsy was diagnosed in 31 patients (77.5%) and idiopathic epilepsy in nine (22.5%). Cognitive functions were compared in relation to the type of epilepsy, type of seizures, and treatment with antiepileptic and its efficacy. The results showed that intellectual-mnestic disorders were seen in 62% of children with epilepsy, more profound impairments being seen in patients with generalized epileptic seizures. Achievement of stable remission from seizures was associated with good recovery of cognitive functions; in the absence of treatment with antiepileptic agents and when treatment was ineffective, there were marked disorders to the intellectual-mnestic sphere. |
