Several studies have documented learning disabilities (LDs) in subjects with epilepsy, who have been shown to be at greater risk of mild neuropsychological damage, with the consequent risk of academic failure. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the peculiarities of reading and writing disorders in subjects with idiopathic epilepsy. The reading and writing performance of 35 children affected by reading and writing disorders and idiopathic epilepsy (R/WD + E group) has been compared with the performance of 37 children with only reading and writing disorders (R/WD group). A comparison group of 22 typical developing healthy children (TDC group) was also included in the study. As expected, the TDC group reached better performances in the reading and writing tests administered. Between R/WD + E and R/WD groups, there was a substantial analogy in reading and writing disabilities. The differences between the two clinical groups concern writing ability in sentences dictation and verbal and visuospatial short-term memory in digit span and memory-for-location (MFL) tests.
已有多项研究记录了癫痫患者的学习障碍（LDs），这些患者更有可能受到轻微神经认知损伤的影响，从而导致学业失败。本回顾性研究旨在调查特发性癫痫患者阅读和书写障碍的特点。将 35 名患有阅读和书写障碍和特发性癫痫（R/WD+E 组）的儿童的阅读和书写表现与仅患有阅读和书写障碍（R/WD 组）的 37 名儿童的表现进行了比较。还包括了一个 22 名典型发育健康儿童（TDC 组）的对照组。正如预期的那样，TDC 组在进行的阅读和写作测试中表现更好。在 R/WD+E 和 R/WD 组之间，阅读和书写障碍有很大的相似性。两组临床组之间的差异在于句子听写和言语及视空间短期记忆在数字跨度和位置记忆（MFL）测试中的书写能力。
