A Clinical and EEG Study on Idiopathic Partial Epilepsies with Evolution into ESES Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

An increase in seizure frequency or development of new seizure types, a deviance in behavior or decrease in cognitive performance, or a spreading tendency of the previously focal abnormalities in control EEGs may be premonitory features of a developing ESES and necessitate close follow-ups with sleep EEGs in children with IPEs.
