Some childhood epilepsies or epileptic syndromes have a direct impact on cognition and/or behavior. Stagnation or regression in development, learning arrest or marked fluctuations in cognitive abilities and behavior can present the symptoms. The problems of diagnosis and evaluation of these situations which differ from those encountered in "classical" epilepsies are discussed in this paper. Cognitive and behavioral disturbances are treated together in this discussion without further qualification although it is fully acknowledged that it is a gross oversimplification. This term indicates that either one or the other or both can occur as a primary direct effect of epilepsy.
一些儿童癫痫或癫痫综合征对认知和/或行为有直接影响。发育停滞或倒退、学习停滞或认知能力和行为的显著波动都可能表现出这些症状。本文讨论了这些与“经典”癫痫不同的情况的诊断和评估问题。在本讨论中,认知和行为障碍一并处理,不再进一步细分,尽管大家都清楚这是一种过于简单的做法。这个术语表明,认知或行为或两者都可能作为癫痫的主要直接影响而出现。
