Reading performance in children with rolandic epilepsy correlates with nocturnal epileptiform activity, but not with epileptiform activity while awake.
OBJECTIVE An association between language impairment and rolandic epilepsy is frequently reported. This impairment could be correlated with the amount of nocturnal epileptiform activity. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 26 children with rolandic epilepsy and/or rolandic spikes. All had undergone a 24-hour EEG and neuropsychological assessment within 2 weeks. Reading performance (reading wo...
متن کاملA comparison between averaged spikes and individual visually-analyzed spikes in rolandic epileptiform discharges.
PURPOSE This study compared some morphological features of individual rolandic epileptiform discharges, used to obtain an averaged estimate, with those of the resulting estimate. METHOD Twenty-four averaged discharges from EEGs of 24 children showing rolandic spikes were compared with 480 individual discharges used in the averaging. The analysis was based on the occurrence of tangential dipol...
متن کاملSignificance of interictal occipital epileptiform discharges in children.
OBJECTIVE Interictal occipital epileptiform abnormalities have not been well characterized. The objective of this pilot study was to assess their significance in children. METHODS A search was performed on the EEG database for the keywords "occipital", "spike", "sharp wave" and "epileptiform". Patients were divided into two groups based on the absence of all (group 1) or presence of any (grou...
متن کامل[Rolandic discharges in childhood epilepsy: magnetoencephalographic diagnosis].
INTRODUCTION Whole head magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems facilitate simultaneous recording from the entire brain surface and deep structures. Thus MEG may be accepted as a clinically feasible method for the evaluation of epileptic patients not diagnosed with EEG. CLINICAL CASE A 11 year old female, with tonic generalized seizures since birth. At the present time, seizures consist of initi...
متن کاملInterictal Epileptiform Discharges
EEG remains the primary technique in the diagnosis, characterization, and localization of partial seizures. This review examines the significance and character of interictal epileptiform abnormailites, periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges, and ictal patterns in patients with partial epilepsy. Interictal epileptiform discharges are common and assist in the diagnosis and localization of p...
