Résumé
L’épilepsie est un désordre neurologique souvent infantile associé à des comorbidités qui impliquent des troubles cognitifs. Depuis quelques années, les études des chercheurs suggèrent que la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes d’épilepsie est plus sévèrement impactée par les comorbidités associées à la maladie que par les crises. Il importe donc de diminuer la sévérité des troubles cognitifs chez les personnes épileptiques. Dans cet article, nous relevons les hypothèses de la littérature actuelle qui stipulent que le stress pourrait être un facteur affectant négativement le développement cognitif des enfants épileptiques. Ainsi, nous décrivons les atteintes neuropsychologiques inhérentes aux syndromes convulsifs, la relation biologique du stress et la relation entre le stress et les syndromes convulsifs. Deux modes d’action, évoqués par les chercheurs, par lesquels le stress serait un facteur aggravant les comorbidités des personnes qui présentent un syndrome convulsif seront aussi décrits.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder with an onset that occurs mainly during childhood, and is linked to life-long cognitive deficits. Recent findings suggest that comorbidities have a strong impact on quality of life in epileptic patients. In this article, we suggest that stress could negatively influence the cognitive development in children suffering from epilepsy. The aim of this article is to present two complementary and cumulative explanations regarding the link between stress and cognitive development in epileptic children and to review the current knowledge regarding them.
