Abstract
Cognitive problems in epilepsy have a multifactorial origin with etiology, seizures, and the «central» side-effects of drug treatment being involved. Cognitive side effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been demonstrated to be one of the most important tolerability problems in chronic AED treatment, especially in children with epilepsy. Memory impairments, mental slowing, and attentional deficits are the most frequently reported ones. Neuropsychological profiles of AEDs are important considerations for treatment selection, particularly in children and adolescents. In evaluating studies of the cognitive effects of AEDs we must follow an evidence-based approach, but in the majority of cases, specific data on cognitive functions in children and adolescents with epilepsy are not yet available. A randomized double blind trial on cognitive effects of adjunctive perampanel for partial-onset seizures is cited (Meador K. F. et al, 2015) and discussed. In this trial adjunctive perampanel did not have any significant overall negative cognitive effect and was improving episodic memory in adolescent patients with inadequately controlled partial-onset seizures.
