Interictal epileptiform discharges have an independent association with cognitive impairment in children with lesional epilepsy

The relative contribution of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) to cognitive dysfunction in comparison with the underlying brain pathology is not yet understood in children with lesional focal epilepsy.
