[Cognitive functions in patients with idiopathic generalized and cryptogenic focal epilepsy].

The study included 32 patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, 20 patients with cryptogenic focal epilepsy and 20 healthy controls. Cognitive functions were assessed using tests of long- and short-term verbal memory (auditory, visual and motor), attention and word fluency. Correlations between clinical features of the epileptic process and cognitive deficit were analyzed.
