Abstract

Neuropsychological issues and assessment of them in patients with brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) must take into consideration the simultaneous presence of two different illnesses: brain tumor (BT) and epilepsy. In the literature, neuropsychological issues have been amply discussed for either BT, or for epilepsy, but there is little if any data on this topic as it relates to BTRE. The intent of this chapter is to demonstrate that the studies that have been done on BT patients and on epilepsy patients have significant implications for BTRE for neuropsychological assessment, neurocognitive impairments, psychological issues, sexual disturbances, and quality of life.
