Current Advances in Childhood Absence Epilepsy
Pediatric Neurology, 2014Childhood 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.

Long-term outcome of childhood absence epilepsy: Dutch Study of Epilepsy in Childhood
Epilepsy Research, 2009We determined long-term outcome and the predictive value of baseline and EEG characteristics on seizure activity evolution in 47 children with newly diagnosed childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) included in the Dutch Study of Epilepsy in Childhood. All children were followed for 12-17 years.

Pharmacological treatment of childhood absence epilepsy
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2006This review discusses current pharmacological treatment of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). The key to successful treatment is the correct diagnosis of the epileptic syndrome, hence the initial part of the paper discusses the definition, diagnostic criteria and epidemiology. This is followed by a detailed analysis of pharmacological agents used in the

Case of Childhood Absence Epilepsy with Focal Spikes
World Neurosurgery, 2019Childhood absence epilepsy is a common generalized epilepsy syndrome characterized by childhood onset of frequent sporadic absence seizures. During onset, the electroencephalogram exhibits bilateral, symmetric, and synchronous discharges of approximately 3 Hz of generalized spike-and-wave complexes.

Childhood epilepsy and school absence
Tropical Doctor, 2008Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases encountered among school children. Its effect on school attendance and academic performance is a major cause of concern to both parents and clinicians. In this communication, the absence rate and academic performance of 50 school children with epilepsy attending normal schools was compared with that of their

Absence in childhood absence epilepsy
Neurology, 2013Clinicians 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.

Focality in childhood absence epilepsy
Neurological ResearchChildhood 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.

Neuropsychiatric comorbidities in childhood absence epilepsy
Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2008This 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, 2009Abnormal 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.

Coexistence of Childhood Absence and Rolandic Epilepsy
Journal of Child Neurology, 2006The coexistence of absence and rolandic epilepsy is extremely rare. This coexistence has been attributed to either the treatment or an atypical course of the disease. However, for some authors, this issue remains controversial. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl presenting with both absence seizures and focal seizures consistent with rolandic ...
