Abstract

Childhood Electroclinical Syndromes (CES) are epilepsies occurring in childhood with certain common features such as age of onset, types of seizures, electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics, response to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and outcome. An understanding of CES is important for proper management and counseling. There are several CES, and there is an ongoing debate about lumping vs. splitting the CES. For the uninitiated, it is a difficult task to remember all the CES. In this paper, a simplified pragmatic diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for some of the common CES is presented.
