[Cognitive evaluation of patients with temporal epilepsy, candidates for surgery].
We provide a short overview on selected aspects of the neuropsychology of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy candidate to surgery. The possible impairment of verbal and non verbal memory is treated in particular. We also present the neuropsychological test battery that we use for the cognitive assessment of such patients before surgery and in the follow-up phase.
