The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Neuropsychology Task force developed recommendations to address the neuropsychological assessment in routine epilepsy care. The recommendations endorse:
- Routine screening of cognition, mood, and behavior in new-onset epilepsy patients
- Routine feedback to patients, families, and clinicians about assessment results and implications.
The ILAE recommendations also identify situations where detailed, formal neuropsychological assessment is warranted.
