Volume changes of medial temporal lobe structures in patients with genetic generalized and temporal lobe epilepsy in relation to neuropsychological functions.

PWE showed changes in the volume of selected medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures. Selective impairment of attention and executive functions was found. Some neuropsychological findings correlate with volume changes in MTL structures. Antiseizure medications therapy could have an impact on the severity of neuropsychological dysfunctions.
