Although epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting millions of people, it is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed neurological disorders, in part, because of its multiple types and varying presentations. Often patients are diagnosed with psychiatric illness or attentional disorders before a diagnosis of seizure disorder is considered. Yet, early detection is crucial in limiting repeated seizures that result in cognitive and neurobehavioral changes. This course reviews the various types of seizure disorders and syndromes. Procedures for diagnosing seizures are presented, including neuropsychological evaluation as well as Wada testing, cortical stimulation mapping, and functional neuroimaging. Special emphasis is placed on neurocognitive and neurobehavioral sequelae of complex partial seizures. Also of focus is the role of neuropsychological assessment in epilepsy diagnosis and in pre-/post-surgical evaluation. Further, differential diagnoses including psychogenic non-epileptic seizures are discussed.
