Abstract:
Cognitive function has become a hot spot in the field of epilepsy. However,the relationship between cognitive function and epilepsy has not been clearly demonstrated. Clinical trials have showed that epi-lepsy and epileptic relevant factors are both associated with cognitive function in children. Children with cogni-tive impairment are often caused by those two factors. This article focuses on cognitive function in children with epilepsy age below 6 years,and mainly reviews the characteristics of cognitive function in these children with epilepsy.
