The aim of our work is to evaluate the presence, importance and type of Cognitive Impairment (CI) in patients with temporal epilepsy (TE) and to study their possible correlations with epidemiological-clinical-radiological data.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study over a 6-month period (May-November 2022), including patients followed up for ET. Our patients underwent neuropsychological evaluation, EEG and brain MRI. Results: We enrolled 32 patients with a mean age of 35 years. We found marked CT in the areas of VTI, attention and especially episodic memory (EM). We related the severity of these CTs to socio-epidemiological factors, to the severity of the epilepsy and to the use of Clonazepan. The presence of a temporal lesion of the hippocampal sclerosis type was the most common cause of ME declines. The laterality of the epileptogenic zone characterized the nature of the affected ME. Conclusion: At the conclusion of our work, we emphasize the importance of identifying CTs in order to improve subsequent management and minimize its impact on an often young population.
