Abstract
The impact of epilepsy surgery on motor performance of 37 children (ages 1 month to 15 years) with refractory seizures was evaluated at the Wilhelmina University Children's Hospital, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Highlights
Child abuse is a major cause of infant head trauma in this study, and the most frequent cause of death and morbidity from trauma
Epilepsy patients in a group showed no deterioration in cognition and behavior over time, whereas individually, performance was impaired
Parental poor adaptation to the diagnosis of epilepsy and prediagnostic learning and behavior problems were associated with a child's impaired neuropsychological and school performance, whereas seizure-control or AED treatment was not a factor
