    Children with partial epilepsy (PE) show higher rates of reading disabilities, particularly those with complex symptoms. Left hemisphere epileptic foci correlate with increased dyslexia risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropsychology
    • Developmental Neuroscience
    • Epileptology

    Context:

    • Investigating reading abilities in children aged 7-14 with partial epilepsy (PE).
    • Assessing children with normal intelligence, no neurological deficits, and adequate learning environments.
    • Comparing PE patients with a control group of 202 healthy children.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of reading disabilities in children with PE.
    • To explore the relationship between epilepsy characteristics, cognitive profiles, and reading skills.
    • To examine hemispheric lateralization of reading functions in relation to epileptic foci.

    Summary:

    • Reading disabilities were significantly more common in children with PE, especially those with complex symptomatology.

  • Children with PE and reading disabilities exhibited a higher performance IQ than verbal IQ, unlike controls.
  • Dyslexia prevalence was notably higher in PE patients with left-hemisphere epileptic foci compared to right-hemisphere foci.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the increased risk of reading impairments in children with PE, necessitating early screening.
    • Suggests potential neurocognitive differences in children with PE, particularly concerning verbal and performance intelligence.
    • Provides evidence for the role of the left hemisphere in reading and its vulnerability in epilepsy, informing targeted interventions.
