Resumo: A fenilcetonúria é um erro inato do metabolismo, com incidência entre 1:10000 e 1:15000 nascidos vivos. Trata-se de uma doença de herança autossômica recessiva, caracterizada pela deficiência da enzima hepática fenilalanina hidroxilase ou de seu co-fator tetraidrobiopterina, que, na rota metabólica normal, são responsáveis por converter a fenilalanina em tirosina. O acúmulo de fenilalanina é tóxico ao Sistema Nervoso Central. O défict nos níveis de tirosina leva ao desequilíbrio metabólico que pode causar hipotonia, irritabilidade, letargia, tonturas, microcefalia, características autistas, défict cognitivo e atraso de desenvolvimento. O tratamento é baseado na dieta restrita em fenilalanina. Quando a dieta é iniciada precocemente, o prognóstico cognitivo é bom e os pacientes apresentam QI dentro da média. Embora não haja rebaixamento de QI, alguns estudos mostram que os resultados de avaliação neuropsicológica dos pacientes são piores do que irmãos e pares sem a doença, especialmente com relação a funções executivas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e comparar o desempenho de crianças e adolescentes com fenilcetonúria tratados em um Serviço de Referência no Brasil em provas neuropsicológicas de memória e funções executivas, e comparar com aquele apresentado por pares sem a doença. Participaram do estudo 12 crianças e adolescentes com fenilcetonúria leve, oito com hiperfenilalaninemia permanentemente e uma com fenilcetonúria clássica. A idade do grupo caso índice variou entre seis e 15 anos (m=9,52±2,82). O grupo controle foi formado por 21 crianças e adolescentes com idade entre seis e 14 anos (m=9,19±2,84), recrutados em uma escola de rede municipal. Como instrumento para a avaliação neuropsicológica foi utilizada a Escala de Inteligência Wechsler para crianças (WISC-III, 2002) e uma bateria para avaliação de funções executivas, incluindo o Teste de Trilhas, Teste de aprendizagem verbal de Rey, Teste de aprendizagem visual de Rey, teste de fluência verbal FAS e categoria "animais", teste de Stroop e Torre de Hanói. Os dados foram armazenados e analisados com programa estatístico SPSS - Statistic Package for Social Sciences, versão 13.5, considerando o nível de significância de 5%. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre o desempenho do grupo de pacientes e o grupo controle, para nenhum dos achados neuropsicológicos. Apenas uma criança neste estudo apresentou diagnóstico de PKU clássica, a forma da doença com pior prognostico cognitivo. A média de idade de diagnóstico dos participantes foi de 35 dias e 75% dos participantes apresentaram resultados de exame de PHE<8,0 no ano anterior à avaliação neuropsicológica. Os achados concordam com a literatura que indica a importância do tratamento para garantir um bom desenvolvimento cognitivo. Futuros estudos podem avaliar também funções não executivas, e estudos colaborativos entre diferentes centros de tratamento podem fornecer uma amostra mais significativa da população estudada
Abstract: Phenylketonuria is an autossomal recessive metabolic disease caused by a mutation in the gene for the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase which makes it nonfunctional. It is one of the most common inborn errors of metabolism, with an incidence of 1:10000 to 1:15000 live births. Accumulation of PHE is toxic to the central nervous system. Low levels of tyrosine add to the metabolic abnormality and patients may present hypotonia, irritability, lethargy, dizziness, microcephaly, autistic features, cognitive impairment and developmental delay. The standard treatment is based on a lifelong diet with low levels of phenylalanine. When PKU restricted diet is started early in life, the cognitive outcome is excellent, and patients have normal IQ. Although there is no cognitive impairment, some studies showed that their neuropsychological scores might be lower than the ones of their peers and siblings, especially regarding executive functions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the neuropsychological performance of children and adolescents with the different types of hyperphenylalaninemia treated at a tertiary center in Brazil and compare with a control group with similar age and socioeconomic level. 12 children and teenagers with mild PKU, eight with HPA and one with classic PKU were evaluated. Age ranged between six and 15 years (m=9,52±2,82). Control group were formed by 21 non-pku children and teenagers with ages between six and 14 years (m=9,19±2,84), recruited in a public school. Neuropsychological evaluation was performed using the Wechsler Inteligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III, Stroop Test, Rey Auditive Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Rey Visual Design Learning Test (RVDLT),Trail Making Test (TMT), Verbal Fluency Test (categorie: animals and letters F,A,S) and Hanoi Tower. This study was approved by the Ethical Committee of our institution. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Personal Computer (SPSS/PC), Version 13.5; with a level of significance of 0.05. There was no difference regarding the neuropsychological findings between both the hyperphenylalaninemia and mild phenylketonuria groups and control group. One children in this study had classic PKU. Mean diagnostic age was 35 days and 75% of participant's present PHE concentrations < 8,0 mg/dl. These findings are in concordance to literature that indicates the importance of dietetic treatment for an adequate cognitive outcome. Further research could also evaluate non-executive functions and collaborative studies between different centers could provide a larger sample size

Full textThis dissertation aimed to investigate executive function in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In the first study, we performed a systematic review of publications from 2001 to 2011, which assessed executive function in this sample. In the second study, was done a performance comparison of two groups of children and adolescents, a group with ASD (n=11) and a control group with typical development (n=19), in tasks of executive function and working memory. It was concluded that, although the review study has found evidence of intact (problem-solving, working memory) and dysfunctional (planning, flexibility, verbal fluency, inhibition) executive components in samples with ASD, the empirical study indicated lower performance of executive function in ASD group, involving components of inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, planning, working memory and verbal fluency.

Full textINTRODUCTION: A pioneering study on the neuropsychological assessment of several types of attention and memory in Brazilian narcoleptic outpatients. Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder which the main symptoms are Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) and the occurrence of Rapid Eye Movements (REM) daytime sleep attacks, particularly during monotonous situations. Narcolepsy may be associated with episodes of cataplexy (sudden reduction or loss of muscular tonus not accompanied by loss of consciousness), sleep paralysis (inability to move at falling asleep or waking up) and hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations (onirical images that pervade the state of wakefulness) before falling asleep or at waking up, respectively. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the standard, the quality of sleep, the presence of EDS, traits and symptoms of depression, selective/oriented, sustained and executive attention, immediate, late and working memories, and verify associations among sleep, traits and symptoms of depression and neuropsychological functions. METHOD: The study group comprised 19 narcoleptic outpatients treated at the Neurology Clinic, ages ranging from 22 to 51 years (mean = 38.00; sd = 8.93), compared with 19 subjects not suffering from sleep disorders, ages ranging from 19 to 55 years (mean = 34.42; sd = 12.31) of control group. The material employed in the study included: preliminary interview, Brazil Economic Classification (CEB), Epworth Sleepiness Scale Brazilian Portuguese Version (ESS-BR), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Brazilian Portuguese Version (PSQI-BR), Ravens Progressive Matrices (RPM), Hamilton Rating for Depression (HAMD), d2 Test, Victoria Stroop Test (VST), Trail Making Test (TMT), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test II (RBMT-II), WAIS-III: Letter-Number Sequencing (SNL), Digit Span Forward and Backward Subtests and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test. RESULTS: The groups were homogeneous in sociodemographic variables. Standard and quality of sleep were significantly impaired in the subjects of study group: Disorders (p = 0.007), EDS + disorders (p < 0.001) and EDS (p < 0.001). Traits and symptoms degrees of depression was higher for subjects of study group (p = 0.003). Performance of both groups was equivalent as to oriented/selective and sustained attention besides immediate and late visual memories. Subjects of study group were slower at VST-1 (p = 0.002) and VST-2 (p = 0.045) and at TMT, impaired at divided attention (p = 0.024). Immediate and late verbal memories were impaired only at some RAVLT trials. SNL results were worse for subjects of study group (p = 0.009). Correlations among sleep, traits and symptoms degrees of depression and neuropsychological performance were different for each group. CONCLUSIONS: Narcoleptic patients presented greater impairment in the standard and quality of sleep, EDS, occurrence of traits and symptoms of depression, executive attention and working memory when matched with subjects of the control group. The results of oriented/selective and sustained attention and those of immediate and late verbal and visual memories showed no differences between the groups. Association between EDS and neuropsychological performance which might justify patients subjective complaints about deficits of attention and memory were not confirmed

The objective of this study was to was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of a subscale that evaluates the Executive Functions of the “Programa Integrado de Exploração Neuropsicológica - Teste Barcelona (PIEN-TB II)” for the portuguese language. The adapted tests are Category Evocation, Similarities, Situation and Proverb Understanding, Number Key, Interference Resistance, and Inversion of Automatic Series. The experimental version was applied to 120 participants aged 65-87 years, from a region in southern Brazil. Several studies were carried out in search of the psychometric characteristics of the subscale. The exploratory factorial analysis was carried out, identifying a one-dimensional model; In the analysis of internal consistency this factor showed homogeneity among the items (α = 0.67). For the criterion validity study, the general EF score was correlated with the performance obtained on the Wechsler Short Intelligence Scale and on the Wisconsin test and the scores suggested evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Some theoretical hypotheses were found, pointing out that the best performance in EFs was observed among the elderly who were younger, more educated, who had mastered a second language and who used social networks. It can be concluded that the EFs subscale of the PIEN-TB II adapted presented an equivalence in relation to the original version and satisfactory psychometric properties for the application directed to the elderly population.
O objetivo do estudo foi realizar a adaptação transcultural de uma subescala que avalia as Funções Executivas (FE) do Programa Integrado de Exploração Neuropsicológica - Teste Barcelona (PIEN-TB II) para a língua portuguesa. As provas adaptadas são Evocação Categorial, Semelhanças, Compreensão de Situações e Provérbios, Chave de Números, Resistência à Interferência e Inversão de séries Automáticas. A versão experimental foi aplicada em 120 participantes com idades entre 65 e 87 anos, de uma região no sul do Brasil. Foram realizadas várias análises para evidenciar as características psicométricas da subescala. Procedeu-se a análise fatorial exploratória identificando-se um modelo unidimensional; na análise da consistência interna este fator mostrou homogeneidade entre os itens (α = 0,67). Para o estudo de validade de critério o escore geral das FEs foi correlacionado com o desempenho obtido na Escala Wechsler Abreviada de Inteligência e no Wisconsin e os escores sugeriram evidências de validade convergente e discriminante. Algumas hipóteses teóricas foram também constatadas, ressaltando que o melhor desempenho nas FEs foi observado entre os idosos que tinham menos idade, mais escolaridade, que dominavam um segundo idioma e que faziam uso de redes sociais. Pode-se concluir que a subescala de FEs do PIEN-TB II adaptada apresentou equivalência em relação à versão original e propriedades psicométricas satisfatórias para a aplicação direcionada à população de idosos.

Full textPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder developed after exposure to an extremely stressful event. Patients with this disorder have a marked impairment in their quality of life, considering the symptoms that include deficits in executive functions, as well as hyperreactivity of sympathetic/parasympathetic system, associated to possible development of other comorbidities associated with PTSD. Still, there are few studies that investigate these aspects in PTSD patients in Brazilian population. In order to better understand the neuropsychological peculiarities of this disorder in order to contribute to the development of more effective and specific treatments, the general aims of the present study are: a) assess patients’ neuropsychological abilities and characteristics and compare them to those belonging to subjects of control group; and , b) study the variability of patients’ and controls’ cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic components after they underwent perception of facial expressions with emotional valences, in conscious and non- conscious ways . The sample consisted of adults aged between 18 and 54 years-old, including both genders. There was no significant difference between PTSD and control groups regarding sex, age and years of schooling in the neuropsychological stage of the study. PTSD group showed cognitive impairment of executive functions in almost all constructs assessed by neuropsychological tests as cognitive flexibility, sustained attention, inhibiting impulses, ability to form abstract concepts and speed of information processing. In the stage of cardiac variability, there was difference between groups profiles concerning to age. When assessing the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of cardiac variability after exposure to human facial expressions was observed greater variability of PTSD group compared to control group. PTSD group showed significant variability of cardiac sympathetic component to neutral facial expression, but no significant change to facial expression of happiness. In these patients, the perception of facial expressions of fear (in conscious and non-conscious ways), anger, sadness, and disgust (in non-conscious way) produced higher variability for the component cardiac sympathetic (LFnu). The parasympathetic component (HFnu) was altered for expressions of anger, sadness, fear, and disgust (both when shown in non-conscious way). The sympathovagal balance (LF/HF) was altered after exposure to facial expressions of fear (in conscious and non-conscious ways), disgust, anger, and sadness. These results indicate that subjects with PTSD already have a heightened cardiac reactivity mainly due to the sympathetic component for almost all the basic emotions that were present in human facial expressions shown - which could already be observed when there was significant sympathetic reactivity after exposure to neutral facial expression. These data suggest a relationship between psychophysiological changes in patients with PTSD and sympathetic and parasympathetic exacerbated responses when conscious and non-conscious perception of pictures with emotional content occurs. These results may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of PTSD, to a propose of how to assess the physiological response condition of these patients, and to evaluate the results and prognostic of treatments based on quantitative data additional to that currently exist.

Among the various diseases that affect the elderly stand out from them cardiovascular disease among them heart failure (HF). Recently seeks to check for cognitive impairment associated with physical and psychological damage commonly known in the IC. We analyzed a population of patients with heart failure in order to compare their cognitive performance with that of individuals with normal aging in paired age. It was also verified whether there was any more specific impairment of some cognitive function in these HF patients. Through neuropsychological tests it was compared to 78 elderly and 37 in the control group (mean age 68.3 ± 6.3), 41 clinical group with mean age of 68.6 ± 6.9). The subjects were matched to the level of education with a predominance of elderly people with 0-4 years of education (65.9% in the Clinical Group and 59.5% in the control group). We used 11 neuropsychological tests covering the cognitive functions: attention, language, memory, mood and executive function. The results showed significant differences mainly in executive functions which include planning capacity, organization, alternation and evocation of Previously stored information. Cognitive performance in other functions was similar between the groups. The data collected when indicating cognitive impairment in individuals with HF, suggest that new studies be performed with this population since the impairments in cognitive abilities have implications in the daily life of the individual, in their independence and quality of life, as well as in adherence to treatment.
Dentre as diversas patologias que acometem os idosos destacam-se as doenças cardiovasculares, entre elas a Insuficiência Cardíaca (IC). Recentemente, busca-se verificar a existência de prejuízos cognitivos associados a prejuízos físicos e psicológicos, comumente conhecidos na IC. Analisamos uma população de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca com o objetivo de comparar seu desempenho cognitivo com o de indivíduos com envelhecimento normal em idade pareada. Verificou-se, ainda, se havia nesses pacientes com IC algum comprometimento mais específico de alguma função cognitiva. Foram utilizados onze testes neuropsicológicos abrangendo as funções cognitivas: atenção, linguagem, memória, humor e função executiva. A amostra foi composta de 78 idosos ao total. O grupo controle foi composto de 37 indivíduos (com idade média de 68,3 ± 6,3) e o grupo clínico de 41 indivíduos (com idade média de 68,6 ± 6,9). Os sujeitos foram pareados em relação ao nível de escolaridade, com predomínio de idosos com 0 a 4 anos de estudo (65,9% no Grupo Clínico e 59,5 % no Grupo Controle). Os resultados apontaram diferenças significativas entre os grupos, principalmente nas funções executivas, que englobam capacidade de planejamento, organização, alternância e evocação da informação anteriormente armazenada. O desempenho atentivo mostrou-se alterado no que se refere à atenção alternada, bem como no que diz respeito à velocidade de processamento, tendo o grupo clínico mostrado pior desempenho nessas habilidades. A memória de curto prazo também possui pior desempenho no grupo clínico, grupo que, ademais, apresentou dificuldades na memória de longo prazo, sofrendo interferência de prejuízos executivos nessa habilidade. Os dados colhidos ao apontarem prejuízos cognitivos nos indivíduos com IC sugerem que novos estudos sejam realizados com essa população, visto que os prejuízos nas habilidades cognitivas implicam em danos no cotidiano do indivíduo, na sua independência e na qualidade de vida, bem como na adesão ao tratamento.

Full textPURPOSES: To determine whether neuropsychological tests of attention and executive functions present correlations, in children with ADHD combined subtype, with the diagnosis and clinical outcome after treatment with methylphenidate, and to propose a protocol, with the most significant tests. METHODS: In this longitudinal study we selected 23 boys, aged between nine and 12 years old, with ADHD without comorbidities diagnosed according to the DSM-IV, IQ>=89, not previously treated for ADHD, who could read and write and were in monitoring in the Learning Disorders Ambulatory, at FMUSP Hospital das Clínicas. The following instruments were used: Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III), Voluntary Visual Attention Psychophysical Test (VVAPT), Cancellation Test, Trail Making Test Parts A and B, Stroop Test and Visual Attention Test - Third Edition (TAVIS 3R). The experiment corresponds to two stages: clinical and neuropsychological assessments of attention and executive functions in patients with ADHD; and reassessment, with the same tests after three months of drug therapy using methylphenidate. We compared the performance on the tests with that of the control group (n = 30) also evaluated in two stages, with the same time interval. SNAP-IV scale was also compared between subjects and control group under the same conditions. RESULTS: When the subjects were not medicated, their performance was poorer than the control group\'s, on the following tests: WISC III subtests coding p<0.001; digits p<0.001 and digits span backward p<0.001. VVAPT valid pointer to the right p<0.001; valid fixed pointer p<0.001; valid alternate pointer p<0.001 and invalid alternate pointer p<0.001. Cancellation Test, execution time on board II p=0.001 and omission errors on boards I and III p=0.002. Trail making Test, execution time part A p=0.032. Stroop Test, execution time dots card p=0.016 and errors color card p=0.017. TAVIS 3R, omission errors on task 1 p<0.001, reaction time on task 2 p=0,001, omission errors on task 2 p<0.001 and reaction time on task 3 p<0.001. After medication treatment, the ADHD group present fewer errors when compared to itself without methylphenidate. Excluding the tests, whose improvement was attributed to learning, after controls were reassessed, the tests with statistical significance were: WISC III subtests arithmetic p<0.001; digits p<0.001 and span digits backward p<0.001. VVAPT, most tasks with p<0.001, except invalid pointer to the right and invalid alternate pointer. Cancellation Test, execution time board II p<0.001 and omission errors board I p<0.001. Trail Making Test, execution time part B p<0,001. Stroop Test, execution time dots card p=0.005, words card p=0.001 and errors color card p<0.001. TAVIS 3R, omission and commission errors task 1 p<0.001; reaction time, omission and commission errors task 2 p<0.001 and reaction time task 3 p<0.001. For SNAP-IV, filled by parents and teachers, a significant improvement was observed, with p<0.001. The analysis of the ROC curve (receiver operator characteristic curve) showed the following tests as being the most significant ones, in decrescent order of importance: VVAPT valid fixed pointer (0.961), reaction time task 3 TAVIS 3R (0.955), VVAPT invalid pointer to the right (0.954), VVAPT valid alternate pointer (0.948) and valid pointer to the left (0.943), WISC III picture completion subtest (0.938), reaction time task 2 TAVIS 3R (0.915), WISC III arithmetic subtest (0.899), VVAPT valid pointer to the right (0.893), execution time Stroop Test word card (0.891), VVAPT invalid fixed pointer (0.886), WISC III subtest digits (0.885), error Stroop color card (0,882), WISC III subtests span digits backward (0,870) and coding (0.865), reaction time task 1 TAVIS 3R (0,844), execution time of Trail Making Part B (0.843), VVAPT invalid alternate pointer (0.832), omission errors task 2 TAVIS 3R (0,826), execution time Trail Making Test Part A (0.812), WISC III information subtest (0.817), execution time Cancellation Test board III (0.816) and commission errors task 2 TAVIS 3R (0,810). CONCLUSION: The analysis of the SNAP-IV questionnaires, before and after treatment, showed unmistakable signs of clinical improvement after medication treatment. The presence of attention deficits and executive functions, in children with ADHD aged from nine to 12 years old compared to the control group, and the observation of significant improvement after treatment with methylphenidate, in several of the tests used, demonstrated the importance of this type of evaluation, which enabled proposing a selective set of neuropsychological tests for the assessment and therapeutic follow-up of children with ADHD therapy

Full textINTRODUCTION: Alzheimer Disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia in our country. Its progressive feature has been thoroughly studied as well as the intermediate pre-clinical stage of the disease. Some epidemiological studies corroborate that elderly patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) present greater risks of developing dementia and AD. Deficits in episodic memory are pointed out here as the best tool to make the differential diagnosis however, executive deficits are also characteristic of the initial phases of AD and are clinically correlated to neuropsychiatric symptoms and loss of functional performance. The Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) is a battery of tests used to evaluate problems that occur in daily life activities due to the dysexecutive syndrome. A few studies reported the performance of executive syndromes among patients with MCI, PSAD and AD. OBJECTIVES: To compare BADS performance to control group, patients with amnestic MCI (aMCI) and mild onset AD with presenile and senile onset and also check the accuracy of BADS to differentiate among the groups. METHODS: BADS was administered to 60 healthy controls with mean age of 67.35 (7.40) and Educational levels of 9.52 (4.68); 20 patients with aMCI, mean age was 71.80 (7.79) and educational levels of 9.45 (4.89); 40 patients with probable AD out of which 20 patients had PSAD with mean age of 59.85 (4.52), educational levels of 9.40 (4.87) and 20 patients with senile AD with mean age of 79.45 (4.58) and educational levels of 6.45 (3.97). RESULTS: We found significant differences as to BADS performance among the groups in the subtests: rule shift cards, action program, zoo map test, modified six elements and in the three total scores of the battery. We have found early changes in executive functions in patients with AD (regardless of the age at the onset) and patients with aMCI. The subtest, zoo map test, total score and standard score were able to differentiate from the control group and aMCI patients. CONCLUSION: BADS has proved useful to discriminate between groups. Our results confirmed the presence of early changes of executive functions in patients with aMCI and mild AD

Full textBenign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (BECTS) is focal epilepsy with undetermined etiology. At the moment, the term benign has been questioned by the recognition that despite the complete remission of epileptic seizures in 80% of cases and pharmaco-responsivity, there are cognitive and psychiatric comorbidities that may compromise quality of life and school performance. The most frequent psychiatric comorbidity is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One of the most important cognitive functions, the Executive Functions (EF), in its cool (mental flexibility, mental information tracking, abstraction capacity and attention) and hot domains (decision making, social cognition and impulse control), may be impaired in both disorders, BECTS and ADHD. Despite the high prevalence of this syndrome, ADHD and EF are poorly investigated and described in this population. Moreover, with the few studies previously done, it is not possible to describe if the executive deficits found are related to the clinical variables of epilepsy, the epileptiform activity itself, the psychiatric comorbidity or the sum of these factors. Thus, the general objective of this study was to analyze the profile of executive performance in children and adolescents with BECTS. This was a cross-sectional, controlled (double-matched) and non-randomized cohort study. The executive profile of children and adolescents of both genders, aged 6 to 16 years, was evaluated through a comparative analysis of three groups (total of 63 subjects): Group I (23 patients with BECTS); Group II (20 patients with ADHD and without epilepsy) and Group III (20 healthy children and adolescents without epilepsy, without ADHD and without any neurological or psychiatric diagnosis). The neuropsychological evaluation consisted of a comprehensive battery with 22 instruments for detailed executive functions evaluation in its multiple domains (attention, cool and hot EF), intellectual potential and academic performance. Our results showed that patients with BECTS presented worse performance in the areas of cold and hot executive functioning compared to controls. The presence of ADHD was associated with greater impairment in the executive functioning of patients with BECTS. In addition, the executive and attentional profile of these patients was different from that presented by children with ADHD and without epilepsy. There was a correlation between the clinical variables of epilepsy (especially time of seizure control, number of antiepileptic medication, presence and laterality of epileptiform discharges) and worse executive functioning. Thus, the need for greater attention to the hot executive functions and to the presence of the coexistence of ADHD in the BECTS, both neglected in the studies with this epileptic syndrome of the childhood, is emphasized. Thus, a better delineation of adequate and effective cognitive difficulties, prognosis and intervention for children and adolescents with BECTS can be provided

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar as funções cognitivas afetadas pela epilepsia, os principais fatores associados a esses comprometimentos e comparar a sensibilidade para funções cognitivas de testes verbais e não-verbais de inteligência. Foram avaliadas 30 crianças com idades entre três anos e sete meses e onze anos e oito meses, com diagnóstico de epilepsia, em acompanhamento pelo Ambulatório de Pediatria do Hospital Universitário de Brasília, Serviço de Neurologia Infantil. Além dos exames neurológicos clínicos, eletroencefalograma (EEG) e, em alguns casos, de neuroimagem, as crianças também foram submetidas a baterias verbais (WISC e WPPSI) e não-verbais (SON-R) de avaliação das funções cognitivas. As funções viso-perceptuais foram avaliadas utilizando-se o teste Gestáltico Visomotor Bender. De acordo com os resultados, em geral, a epilepsia afetou as funções cognitivas como um todo e de forma homogênea. A média dos QIs (quocientes intelectuais) foi inferior à da população normal e, dentre os índices fatoriais, a média foi limítrofe para Resistência à Distração, o que pode estar relacionado ao uso de DAEs. Por outro lado, não foram constatadas diferenças de desempenho intelectual entre crianças com epilepsia do tipo focal e generalizada e nem entre as tratadas com monoterapia e politerapia. Além disso, o modelo de avaliação usado nesse estudo se mostrou eficaz para a intervenção multidisciplinar em ambulatório hospitalar ao possibilitar uma compreensão maior das relações entre as variáveis estudadas e oferecer subsídios para as ações interventivas da equipe junto aos pacientes. ___________________________________________________________________________-____ ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to identify the cognitive functions affected by epilepsy, the main factors associated to these functions decays and to compare the sensitiveness to cognitive functions of verbal and non-verbal tests of intelligence. Thirty children with diagnosed epilepsy, aged between three years, seven months and eleven years, eight months old and under the supervision of the Pediatric Neurological Service of Hospital University of Brasília were analyzed. The children were submitted to clinic neurological exams, electroencephalograms (EEG) and, in some cases, neuroimage exams. Besides, the cognitive functions of these children were assessed by verbal (WISC-III e WPPSI-III) and non-verbal tests of intelligence (SON-R). The visual perception was analysed by the Bender test (Gestaltic Visualmotor Test). In general, the subjects diagnosed with epilepsy had a global and homogeneous demotion in all investigated cognitive functions. The mean IQ of (intelligence quotient) these children was lower than that of normal children. The mean of Distraction Resistance, among the fatorial index, was borderline, which can be associated to use of antiepileptic drugs. On the other hand, no differences were found in the intellectual performance of children diagnosed with generalized epilepsy and of those children diagnosed parcial epilepsy and nor between children treated with one antiepileptic drug and two or more antiepileptic drugs. Besides, the neuropsychological evaluation model of this work showed itself effective to multidisciplinary intervention in hospital context with great demand, allowing the comprehension about relations among analyzed variables and offering subsidies to interventive actions of staff to these children.
