OVERVIEW:
This Special Interest Group is focused on the diagnosis of memory disorders in patients with epilepsy across the lifespan.
Memory deficits are the most frequent cognitive comorbidity in patients with epilepsy. The session critically evaluates current practices used to diagnose memory disorders in patients with epilepsy against recent applied clinical research.
Three topics explored include:
- Transient epileptic amnesia
- Accelerated long-term forgetting
- Differentiating age-related memory changes from the mild cognitive impairment/early dementia
Learning Objectives:
Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recognize clinical symptoms of transient epileptic amnesia
- Demonstrate working knowledge of accelerated long-term forgetting
- Describe risk factors and behavioral patterns of early dementia in patients with epilepsy
