“…A battery of cognitive tests was given by an experienced clinical neuropsychologist. The neuropsychological tests used were Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), ReyOsterrieth's Complex Figure Test (ROCFT), Keio version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) (Igarashi et al, 2002), Verbal Fluency Test, and Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM). RAVLT is used to evaluate the performance of verbal memory, and ROCFT is used as a measure of nonverbal visual memory.…”

“…Neuropsychological laboratory measures are not sensitive enough to identify mental flexibility problems, however. To the best of our knowledge, only Igarashi et al (2002) found deficient results in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in 15 FLE children 8-20 years of age. The mean results indicated a lower number of matching criteria and a higher number of perseverative errors by comparison with 19 children with TLE, with and without structural lesions, and 30 controls.…”

“…No único estudo sobre DLF em crianças com ELT, Igarashi et al (20) relataram que as crianças com esclerose mesial têm maiores déficits de execução/planejamento do que aquelas com lesões neocorticais temporais ou frontais. No entanto, este estudo incluiu pacientes com idades de até 20 anos (que podem ser considerados adultos), além de ser composto por uma casuística heterogênea com subgrupos de poucos pacientes com esclerose mesial e lesão neocortical.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: Há evidências de que pessoas com alguns tipos de epilepsia podem apresentar prejuízos cognitivos, sendo que para alguns pacientes, tais déficits cognitivos podem ser mais debilitantes do que suas crises epilépticas. A disfunção do lobo frontal é relatada em adultos com epilepsia do lobo temporal, caracterizada pela disfunção executiva. Objetivo: Rever a literatura sobre a ocorrência de disfunção de lobo frontal em crianças e adolescentes com epilepsia do lobo temporal. Métodos: Revisão sistemática da literatura compulsada no PUBMED. Resultados: A disfunção do lobo frontal tem sido pouco estudada em crianças com epilepsia, em especial com epilepsia do lobo temporal. No único estudo sobre este assunto, demonstrouse que há um déficit executivo, sendo que as crianças com esclerose mesial têm maiores déficits de execução/ planejamento do que aquelas com lesões neocorticais temporais ou frontais. A presença de uma disfunção do lobo frontal nos pacientes com epilepsia parcial e generalizada pode corroborar as evidências de que epilepsia e transtorno psiquiátrico são epifenômenos e não fenômenos com relação causa-efeito. Conclusões: Há uma escassez de artigos sobre a disfunção do lobo frontal em crianças com epilepsia do lobo temporal, sendo de interesse saber se esta ocorre e se pacientes com etiologias distintas apresentam diferentes graus de comprometimento destas funções. Unitermos: epilepsia, crianças, lobo frontal, lobo temporal, transtornos psiquiátricos. ABSTRACT Frontal lobe disfunction in children and adolescents with temporal lobe epilepsy and possible correlation with psychiatric disordersIntroduction: There is evidence that individuals with certain types of epilepsy may present cognitive disorders, and that these disorders can be more debilitating than seizures proper. Frontal lobe disorders are reported in adults with temporal lobe epilepsy, carachterized by executive disfunction. Rationale: Literary revision of work concerning the occurence of frontal lobe dysfunction in children and adolescents with temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods: Systematic revision of published literature in PUBMED. Results: Frontal lobe dysfunction has been poorly studied in children with epilepsy, especially in temporal lobe epilepsy. In the only study on the subject, executive deficit was demonstrated. Moreover, children with mesial sclerosis had more deficit in execution/planning than those with frontal or temporal neocortical lesions. Presence of frontal lobe dysfunction, in patients with partial and generalized epilepsy, may corroborate evidence that epilepsy and psychiatric disorders are epiphenomena and not cause-effect related phenomena. Conclusion: There are few articles on frontal lobe dysfunction in children with temporal lobe epilepsy. It would be interesting to find out if, and how much this occurs, and if patients with distinct etiologies present different levels of functional disability.
