We characterized the neuropsychological status of children with newly diagnosed idiopathic childhood epilepsy and measured differences in IQ between children with different types of epilepsy. The Korean Education Development Institute-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (KEDI-WISC) was administered to 72 patients (35 males and 37 females), of mean age 8.7±2.6 years, with newly diagnosed idiopathic childhood epilepsy. Of these patients, 22 (30.6%) had generalized epilepsy, 48 (66.7%) localization-related epilepsy, and 2 (2.8%) mixed epilepsy. Children with generalized epilepsy and benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BCECTS) were of similar verbal IQ and full-scale IQ, although performance IQ was significantly lower in patients with generalized epilepsy. Among children with BCECTS, those with unilateral spikes had higher full-scale and performance IQ scores than those with bilateral spikes. Follow-up studies on large numbers of patients are needed to determine the effects of epilepsy per se, and antiepileptic drugs, on intelligence.
我们对新诊断的特发性儿童癫痫患儿的神经心理状态进行了表征，并测量了不同类型癫痫患儿之间的智商差异。对72例新诊断为特发性儿童癫痫的患者（35名男性和37名女性）进行了韩国教育发展研究院儿童韦氏智力量表（KEDI-WISC）测试，这些患者的平均年龄为8.7±2.6岁。在这些患者中，22例（30.6%）患有全身性癫痫，48例（66.7%）患有局灶性相关性癫痫，2例（2.8%）患有混合型癫痫。全身性癫痫患儿和伴有中央颞区棘波的儿童良性癫痫（BCECTS）患儿的言语智商和全量表智商相似，尽管全身性癫痫患者的操作智商显著较低。在BCECTS患儿中，单侧棘波患儿的全量表和操作智商得分高于双侧棘波患儿。需要对大量患者进行随访研究，以确定癫痫本身以及抗癫痫药物对智力的影响。
