Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the cognitive function and observe the changes of event-related potential of epileptic children.Methods45 epileptic children and 45 normal children were put in as the test group and the control group.The cognitive function and event-related potential were evaluated by means of Raven's standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and evoked potential instrument respectively.ResultsAbout 33.3% epileptic children presented cognitive deficits.For children with cognitive deficits, their scores of B, E were significantly different from those in the control group(P<0.05).The latency of event-related potential P300 showed significantly prolonged than that of the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionEpilepsy may cause cognitive function deficit, especially in the ability of analog, analysis and abstract. The latency of event-related potential P300 is a very good objective to assess the cognitive function of children.
