Brief Summary:
Rolandic Epilepsy is the most common form of childhood epilepsy. It is classified as idiopathic, age-related epilepsy syndrome with benign evolution. The absence of neuropsychological impairment is part of the criteria of benignity of this epilepsy syndrome. However recently have been suggested several deficits related to attention and language. The purpose of this study was assess school performance and to investigate problems of praxis in patients with rolandic epilepsy as compared to a control group composed of normal children with age, gender and educational level equivalents.

| Rolandic Epilepsy Apraxia | Behavioral: Language Assessment |
Method: Nineteen patients aged between 7 and 12 years underwent clinical neurological evaluation, psychological assessment, through Weschsler Scales of Intelligence and language evaluation, to assess the academic performance and research of the presence or absence of praxis difficulties.

Rolandic Epilepsy
Patients older than seven years old with clinical and electroencephalographic diagnosis of Rolandic Epilepsy
|
Behavioral: Language Assessment
Patients underwent an assessment performed with School Performance Test, Syntactic Awareness Test and a Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test.
Other Name: Children with epilepsy, language impairment and dyslexia |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Our data will indicate the group performance in tests of writing, arithmetic and reading. [ Time Frame: one year ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Another important aspect was the absence of orofacial apraxia in children with epilepsy. [ Time Frame: one year ]
