Piazzini A et al. – Data confirm that pts with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) manifest subtle difficulties in processing and mental manipulation of visual spatial data.
Methods- Study of whether adult OLE pts vs controls are at risk for cognitive impairment
- Administration of visuoperceptive domain tests
- Subjects: 20 OLE pts and 20 controls, matched to epilepsy group in terms of gender, age, education, and intelligence
- Study pts not affected by progressive pathologies, did not receive any medication other than antiepileptic drugs, had no a psychiatric background
- Statistically significant difference between OLE pts and controls in these tasks: Perceptive Differences Test, and Object Denomination Test, and Famous Faces Test
- No difference between symptomatic and nonsymptomatic pts for neuropsychological results
