Concomitance of Childhood Absence and Rolandic Epilepsy

Clinical Electroencephalography, 1998
Five children (3 girls and 2 boys) who showed generalized synchronous 3/sec spike and wave complexes as well as centrotemporal spikes in the same EEG or in different EEGs are described. Among these five patients only 1 boy and 1 girl showed clinically both absence seizures and partial motor seizures with or without secondary generalization.

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.

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.

Attention impairment in childhood absence epilepsy: An impulsivity problem?

Epilepsy and Behavior, 2013
Although attention problems have often been described in children with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), the use of different methodological approaches, neuropsychological tests, and heterogeneous experimental groups has prevented identification of the selective areas of attention deficit in this population.

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 ...

Longterm Follow-Up of Childhood Epilepsy with Absences - I. Epilepsy with Absences at Onset

Neuropediatrics, 1985
The purpose of the follow-up study was to determine whether modern therapy with ethosuximide and/or valproate with/without phenobarbitone and its derivatives improves the longterm prognosis of absence epilepsy as compared to formerly used treatments. The patient population consisted of 194 cases (88 boys, 106 girls) with spike wave epilepsy starting ...

Prognostic Factors for Childhood and Juvenile Absence Epilepsies

European Neurology, 2008
To assess prognostic factors for absence epilepsy (AE), we analyzed data from 80 patients treated for childhood AE (CAE; n = 53) or juvenile AE (JAE; n = 27) in our epilepsy clinic between 1985 and 1992. All patients were classified according to the International Classification of Epileptic Syndromes which was proposed by the International League ...

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.

Childhood Absence Epilepsy and Accidents

Archives of Neurology, 1997
In the September 1996 issue of theArchives, Wirrell et al 1 report the results of a study (based on the disputable method of telephone interview) of 59 patients with typical absence epilepsy who were asked about accidents having possibly occurred during an absence seizure. All patients were older than 18 years at the time of the interview.
