Current Advances in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Pediatric Neurology, 2014
Childhood absence epilepsy is an age-dependent, idiopathic, generalized epilepsy with a characteristic seizure appearance. The disorder is likely to be multifactorial, resulting from interactions between genetic and acquired factors, but the debate is still open.

Cross-Frequency Coupling in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Brain Connectivity, 2022
Objective: Absence seizures are the prototypic primarily generalized seizures, but there is incomplete understanding regarding their generation and maintenance. A core network for absence seizures has been defined, including focal cortical and thalamic regions that have frequency-dependent interactions.

Ezogabine treatment of childhood absence epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, 2014
Generalised‐onset absence seizures can be resistant to treatment with currently available antiepileptic drugs. Ezogabine (retigabine), a potassium channel opener, is approved for the treatment of focal‐onset seizures. This is a case report of an adult with childhood absence epilepsy whose daily absence seizures ceased with adjunctive ezogabine.

Neuropsychiatric comorbidities in childhood absence epilepsy

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2008
This Practice Point commentary discusses a cross-sectional study by Caplan et al. that identified frequent comorbidities associated with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). The authors found that children with CAE exhibited subtle cognitive deficits (25%), linguistic difficulties (43%), and psychiatric diagnoses (61%) -- in particular, attention deficit ...

Amygdala volumes in childhood absence epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2009
Abnormal amygdala volumes in pediatric mood-anxiety disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as high rates of these diagnoses in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), prompted this study of amygdala volume in CAE. Twenty-six children with CAE and 23 normal children, aged 6.6-15.8 years, underwent MRI at 1.5 T.

Focality in childhood absence epilepsy

Neurological Research
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) has a typical electroencephalography (EEG) pattern of generalized 3 Hz spike and wave discharges (SWD). Focal interictal discharges were also documented in a small number of documents. The aim was to investigate the amplitudes of interictal 3 Hz SWD within the 1st second in drug-naïve CAE patients.

Absence in childhood absence epilepsy

Neurology, 2013
Clinicians typically breathe a sigh of relief when they make the diagnosis of childhood absence epilepsy. The history is classic-a normal young child with myriad brief periods of staring. The clinic visit is powerful when the phenomena are replicated by having the child hyperventilate. Finally, the EEG is definitive.

Childhood absence epilepsy.

Zhonghua yi xue za zhi = Chinese medical journal; Free China ed, 1994
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a relatively rare form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, occurring in previously normal children with a strong genetic predisposition. The annual incidence of CAE has been estimated at 6.3/100,000 to 8/100,000 children aged 0-15 years.Medical and electroencephalographic records of 50 Chinese children with CAE were ...

Electroclinical features of absence seizures in childhood absence epilepsy

Neurology, 2006
To accurately define the electroclinical features of absence seizures in children with newly diagnosed, untreated childhood absence epilepsy (CAE).The authors searched an EEG database for absence seizures in normal children with new onset untreated absence epilepsy. Seventy consecutive children were classified into IGE syndromes.

Periventricular nodular heterotopia and childhood absence epilepsy

Pediatric Neurology, 1999
A young female presented with an epileptic syndrome resembling childhood absence epilepsy, a normal neurologic examination, generalized 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharges, and clinical absences. Her seizures responded to treatment with valproic acid.
