Cognitive Impairment, Epilepsy
Impact of Interictal Epileptiform Activity on Some Cognitive Domains in Newly Diagnosed Epileptic Patients
Epilepsy is a common health problem worldwide. In general population, studies in developed countries estimated the annual incidence of epilepsy to be~50 per 100,000 and prevalence to be ~8.2 per 1,000.

Electrical Status Epilepticus in Sleep
Electrical Status Epilepticus in Sleep: Response of Neuropsychological Deficits and Epileptiform Activity to Clobazam Treatment
Electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) is a pattern of abnormal discharges in the electroencephalogram (EEG). Children who have this pattern present seizures and neuropsychological regression.

- Testing
- ESES treated with clobazam
