Overview
Brief Summary
Since the proportion of language and attentional difficulties in patients with epilepsy is recognized, both in the literature and in the clinical experience of practitioners, it is appropriate to propose a complete speech-language assessment of oral language and attention.This study investigates these impairments through the taking of specific tests.
The general objective of this study is to observe possible oral language and attention disorders in children with epilepsy, by age and etiology of epilepsy.
The objective of this work is to study therapeutic apheresis (including plasma exchange and immunoadsorption) among french neuropediatric tertiary centers and to prove that this treatment modality is effective and well tolerated in pediatric neurology diseases.
