Remote episodic memory deficits in patients with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy and excisions.
The nature of remote memory impairment in patients with medial temporal lobe damage is the subject of some debate. While some investigators have found that retrograde amnesia in such patients is temporally graded, with relative sparing of remote memories (Squire and Alvarez, 1995), others contend that impairment is of very long duration and that remote memories are not necessarily spared (Sande...
متن کاملThe influence of seizure frequency on anterograde and remote memory in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
PURPOSE Seizure frequency, although considered as an important factor in memory impairment in mesial temporal epilepsy (mTLE), is mostly confounded with other clinical variables, making it unclear to what extent recurrent seizures actually interfere with memory. The present study focuses on the influence of seizure frequency, studied as a main variable, on anterograde and remote memory. METHO...
متن کاملCauses of death in remote symptomatic epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE To determine the causes of death of individuals with developmental disabilities that occur more frequently among those with remote symptomatic epilepsy (i.e., epilepsy occurring in persons with developmental delay or identified brain lesions) than for those without. METHODS The authors compared causes of mortality in persons with (n = 10,030) and without (n = 96,163) history of epil...
متن کاملExcess mortality in remote symptomatic epilepsy.
BACKGROUND Published estimates of excess mortality associated with epilepsy vary greatly. How much, if any, of the excess is attributable to the seizures themselves as opposed to an underlying condition causing the epilepsy is not clear from the literature. This article offers evidence that epilepsy per se is associated with excess mortality. The excess varies according to severity and frequenc...
متن کاملRecent insights into the impairment of memory in epilepsy: transient epileptic amnesia, accelerated long-term forgetting and remote memory impairment.
Complaints of memory difficulties are common among patients with epilepsy, particularly with temporal lobe epilepsy where memory-related brain structures are directly involved by seizure activity. However, the reason for these complaints is often unclear and patients frequently perform normally on standard neuropsychological tests of memory. In this article, we review the literature on three re...
