Neuropsychological Performance 1 Year After Status Epilepticus in Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: SE represents a marker for possible cognitive dysfunction, and follow-up with neuropsychological assessment and cognitive rehabilitation seems warranted in most patients. Complex problem-solving abilities with high general sensitivity to brain impairment showed the most prominent reduction. Otherwise, no specific profile of domain affection was found. Structural brain lesions and duration of SE over 30 min represent risk factors for cognitive deficit. PMID: 32064506 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
