Compared with the literature on epilepsy in adults, there is relatively little written about memory in children. This paucity of findings exists despite the fact that childhood is a critical time for laying down memories that contribute to adult attainments. This paper reviews the evidence for memory deficits in children with intractable epilepsy. The nature of these deficits and their impact on the child's daily function are described. The evidence of neural, seizure-related and treatment factors that contribute to these impairments is presented.
与关于成人癫痫的文献相比，关于儿童记忆的著述相对较少。尽管童年是奠定有助于成人成就的记忆的关键时期，但仍存在这种研究结果匮乏的情况。本文综述了难治性癫痫患儿记忆缺陷的证据。描述了这些缺陷的性质及其对儿童日常功能的影响。还介绍了导致这些损伤的神经、癫痫发作相关和治疗因素的证据。
