Features of cognitive dysfunction in late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A global increase in the aging population has resulted in more patients with late-onset epilepsy. Late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy (LOTLE) is one of the most common types of late-onset epilepsy and is frequently accompanied by memory impairments. Here, we investigated the relationships between memory function and clinical characteristics, including findings from long-term video-electroencephalograph (LVEEG) monitoring, in LOTLE.

Methods

We evaluated patients who had been diagnosed with LOTLE and Underwent LVEEG and neuropsychological tests (e.g., the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised [WMS-R]) before the introduction of anti-seizure medications at our epilepsy center. We then performed multiple regression analyses using patients' clinical characteristics, including LVE
