Abstract
Continuous EEG/video recordings on 4 children with the interictal EEG pattern of multifocal independent epileptiform discharges (MIED) are reported from the Epilepsy Center, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Highlights
Most seizures arose from surgically resectable regions and epilepsy surgery performed in three patients resulted in improved seizure control
The syndrome of benign partial epilepsy with particular reference to the non-rolandic types is described and the relevant literature reviewed from the Pediatric Seizure Clinic and EEG Laboratory, Beilinson Medical Center, Petah Tikva, and the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Benign Partial Epilepsy is defined as a primary convulsive disorder belonging within the group of age- and localization-related idiopathic epilepsies and characterized by seizures, predominantly partial and amenable to anticonvulsant therapy, that begin in childhood and remit spontaneously before adulthood
Summary
The syndrome of benign partial epilepsy with particular reference to the non-rolandic types is described and the relevant literature reviewed from the Pediatric Seizure Clinic and EEG Laboratory, Beilinson Medical Center, Petah Tikva, and the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel. Pattern of multifocal independent epileptiform discharges (MIED) are reported from the Epilepsy Center, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. Most seizures arose from surgically resectable regions and epilepsy surgery performed in three patients resulted in improved seizure control.
