Co-occurrence of childhood absence epilepsy and self-limited focal epilepsy interictal discharges: Differences from childhood absence epilepsy alone. [PDF]

Epileptic Disord
AbstractObjectiveSome children with Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) exhibit focal abnormalities similar to those observed in Self‐Limited Focal Epilepsies of Childhood (SeLFEs). It remains unclear whether this subgroup of patients may present distinct clinical characteristics or prognoses compared to those with CAE and generalized discharges alone. In

EEG phase synchronization during absence seizures

Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2023
Absence seizures—generalized rhythmic spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) are the defining property of childhood (CAE) and juvenile (JAE) absence epilepsies. Such seizures are the most compelling examples of pathological neuronal hypersynchrony.

The Impact of Glutamatergic Synapse Dysfunction in the Corticothalamocortical Network on Absence Seizure Generation

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is the most common pediatric epilepsy affecting 10–18% of all children with epilepsy. It is genetic in origin and the result of dysfunction within the corticothalamocortical (CTC) circuitry.
