Its risk factors include old age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking and high alcohol intake, which are also associated with arterial stiffness.

- The study investigated neuropsychological testing in epilepsy surgery patients to determine the epileptic focus's side and to evaluate cognitive function and quality of life after surgery.
- Preoperative tests included WAIS for IQ, WMS for memory, and QOLIE 31 for quality of life, showing agreement with MRI results and indicating good function on the opposite side of the brain.
- Post-surgery results indicated improvements in overall IQ, performance IQ, memory, and quality of life scores, while verbal IQ remained stable, suggesting neuropsychological tests are valuable for assessing surgical outcomes in epilepsy patients.
