Neuropsychological assessment of children with, without, and with questionable epileptogenic dysfunction.

Neuropsychological assessment of children with, without, and with questionable epilepsy was reported, using the WISC, MPD, and Bender recall tests. The major finding was the presence of a continuum of neuropsychological deficit which was absent or minimal in those children without epilepsy, somewhat more obvious in the questionable cases, and of considerable prominence in children with confirmed diagnoses of epilepsy. Interrelationships among the measures were explored. Some sex and seizure-type differences in test scores did emerge in the epilepsy group; however, handedness did not produce any significant results.
