Resumen

AGUILAR-FABRE, Liane  y  RODRIGUEZ-VALDES, René. Attention deficits and electroencephalografic findings in children with partial complex crisis. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2008, vol.7, n.2. ISSN 1729-519X.

Attention disorders are highly prevalent among epileptic children, arising many questions regarding its physiopathology. To characterize attention disorders in children, we chose 12 children with partial complex crisis to perform an EEG and a neuro psychological evaluation of the sustained, divided and selective attention. A U Mann Whitney non parametric ANOVA was performed to recognize the differences between the variables. There was not significance among the studied variables. A 90, 9% of them had divided and selective attention deficits most of them had interictal epileptiform discharges in the left temporal lobe. A 41,66% of children had sustained attention affectation. The presence of interictal epileptiform discharges in left temporal lobe appears to be greatly linked to attention deficits, mostly in divided and selective attention, not probable to rule out other forms of cognitive behaviour disorders.
