Description
Summary:Basing on the material of 25 surgically treated epileptic patients higher mental functions were studied in the pre- and postoperative periods using certain neuropsychological tests with comparison to the clinical-electroencephalographic findings in order to localize the leading epileptic focus. Short-time auditory-dysphasic and visual memory disturbances were revealed denoting temporal lobe localization of the focus. The above disturbances deteriorated postoperatively, but during the period of 1 to 2 years they regressed to the preoperative level.
