Abstract
The relationship between MRI cortical lesion sites and the topographic distribution of EEG spike-and-wave foci was studied in 34 children with tuberous sclerosis at the Service de Neuropediatrie, Hopital Saint Vincent de Paul, Paris, France and the Instituto di Neuropsichiatria Infantile, Roma, Italy.
Highlights
In the "continuous spike-wave activity during sleep syndrome" speech is disturbed in 50% of cases but intellectual deterioration occurs and psychiatric disorders develop
An abnormal pattern of cerebral glucose utilization demonstrated in three children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome by PET study is reported by the same group of authors from Liege, Belgiun and Strasbourg, France
The relationship between Mil cortical lesion sites and the topographic distribution of EEG spike-and-wave foci was studied in 34 children with tuberous sclerosis at the Service de Neuropediatrie, Hopital Saint Vincent de Paul, Paris, France and the Instituto di Neuropsichiatria Infantile, Roma, Italy
Summary
Et al Landau-Kleffner syndrome: A clinical and EEG study of five cases. In the classical Landau-Kleffner syndrome aphasia is acquired and other higher cortical functions do not usually deteriorate. In the "continuous spike-wave activity during sleep syndrome" speech is disturbed in 50% of cases but intellectual deterioration occurs and psychiatric disorders develop.
