We evaluated 216 people diagnosed with epilepsy in order to identify their neuropsychological characteristics, as well as to compare them according to gender, age group and time of illness. A registration form was applied for sociodemographic data and neuropsi (neuropsychological test battery in Spanish). The results indicated that 75 % of the sample presented normal neuropsychological manifestations, followed by 71 % of mild manifestations, 38 % moderate and 31 % severe. There are no differences by gender, but by age group and disease time.
