Abstrakt: This study aimed to assess eventual disturbances of spatial memory in patients suffering from generalized epilepsy in order to better grasp these patients' attitudes so as to keep track their neuropsychological accompaniments. 70 patients presenting generalized epilepsy have taken part in spatial memory test. The test consists in studying the arrangement, the designation and the evocation of images in the course of spatial disposition learning test. Over the 70 patients, 51% of the cases passed the test with performances similar to witnesses, 29% passed the test with late learning. Eventually 20% of patients failed to the test.
