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.

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.

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.

Coexistence of Childhood Absence and Rolandic Epilepsy

Journal of Child Neurology, 2006
The 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 ...
