Sex ratio and global functioning were similar in ADHD patients with and without spikes
Summary
The frequency of rolandic spikes in nonepileptic children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was compared with a control group of normal school-aged children in a study at the University of Frankfurt, Germany. The EEGs of 483 ADHD outpatients between 2 and 16 years evaluated prospectively showed rolandic spikes in 27 (5.6%); (23 boys and 5 girls, mean age 7.9 years). Seizures during follow-up occurred in 1 (3.7%) of the 27 patients with ADHD plus rolandic spikes, and none of the 456 ADHD children without rolandic spikes. Sex ratio and global functioning were similar in ADHD patients with and without spikes.
