Analysis of cognitive function status in patients with epilepsy

Objective:To observe the cognitive function of epileptic patients Methods To determine the cognitive function of epileptic patient by means of WAIS-CR,WSIC-CR.Results:The FIQ in adult patient group was 87 3,VIQ was 88 3,and PIQ was 89 9.The FIQ in children's patient group was 87 1,VIQ was 86 8,and PIQ was 87 7.In adult patient group there were 19 7% whose FIQ were less than 70,9 9% between 70 to 79.However,in children's patient group there were 25 3% whose FIQ were less than 70,8 4% between 70 to 79.There were 25 3% epileptic patients whose MQ are less than 70,8 4% between 70 to 79.The further analysis of WAIS and WSIC subtest was performed.A significant difference was noted in arithmetic,knowledge,apperception of VS and toy bricks of PS between the adult group with IQ score less than 70 and whose with IQ score more than 70.Furthermore,A significant difference was also found in common sense examination of VS and picture arrangement examination of PS between children's group with IQ score less than 70 and those IQ score more than 70. Conclusion:30% epileptic patients might have deficiency of the cognitive function,20%～25% epileptic patients have evident deficiency.Among patients with deficiency of cognitive function,the ability of memory ,intention of general knowledge,numeral reasoning,vision space,harmony vision movement,abstract shaping and project judgement might be damaged evidently.
