In epileptic syndromes with fronto-temporal characteristics, cognitive functions, especially memory, attention and executive function, could be affected. Cases with visual agnosias have been reported globally, especially in people whose epileptogenic focus is located in the posterior areas of the cerebral cortex. Objective: To determine the performance in neuropsychological tests that measure viso-perceptive functions in adult patients with focal electroclinical syndromes of fronto-temporal characteristics, selected from the database of the electroclinical correlation laboratory (CEC-LAB) of the clinic León XIII, compared with a group of healthy people without epilepsy. Patients and Methods: sample was constituted by 19 patients, 10 women (52,6%), aged 43,0±12,3 (CI95%:37,1-48,9), with electro-clinical syndromes compatible with temporal and frontal focus, median estimated IQ 107,2±14,1 (CI95%:100,3-114,0). They were compared with 16 healthy people without epilepsy, 9(56,2%) women, median age 41,8±12,7 (CI95%:35,1-48,6) and 117±17,5 (IC95%:108,6-127,2). A visuoperceptual protocol was administered to both groups. Results: Patients presented significant lower yield (p<0,05) on figure-background discrimination, line orientations, and visuospatial memory. These impairments were significant worst in patients with frontal focus. Conclusions: Visuospatial memory, visual discrimination of figure background, visuospatial orientation, and denomination by visual confrontation, were altered in this sample of patients with epileptic syndromes of the anterior quadrant. The findings support the circuit model for this sample, in which the fronto-temporo-occipital connections, through the upper, middle and lower longitudinal fascicles, could be involved |
