Research suggests that people with epilepsy are at greater risk of developing dementia later in life. But the links between epilepsy and dementia aren’t fully understood and it isn’t clear whether epilepsy itself can cause dementia. Instead, the conditions may share common risk factors.
Epilepsy and dementia are bidirectional. The purpose of this review was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of and to identify the risk factors for epilepsy in patients with dementia and dementia in patients with epilepsy. Methods. We retrieved the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases through January 2023.
Several strong visual clues can indicate that someone may have dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. For example, a person with dementia may have changes in the way they walk or move and/or their facial expressions may seem inappropriate in some situations.
We examine the evidence that cognitive impairment is associated with epilepsy in older people (aged over 65) and the prognosis for patients with epilepsy developing dementia, with a specific emphasis on common mechanisms that might underlie the cognitive deficits observed in epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.
