Abstract
Epilepsy surgery has emerged as a critical treatment option for patients with intractable epilepsy. However, the neuropsychological impact of such interventions remains complex, influencing both cognitive functions and quality of life. This review examines the integration of theory and practice in neuropsychological assessments within the context of epilepsy surgery, addressing the theoretical frameworks guiding clinical practice and the challenges associated with translating theory into real-world applications. The article discusses the role of neuropsychological evaluations in surgical decision-making, postoperative outcomes, and rehabilitation strategies. Additionally, it highlights key challenges, such as individual variability, the evolving nature of cognitive models, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration. By critically analyzing the intersection of neuropsychological theory and practical approaches, this review aims to provide insights into optimizing care for epilepsy patients undergoing surgery.
