Description
Summary:Genetic focal age-dependent epilepsy accounts for 25% of epilepsy in children with non-febrile seizures and is a genetically determined focal pathology. The main pattern of interictal pathological activity include benign epileptiform discharges of childhood from the centrotemporal leads in patients with rolandic epilepsy and discharges from the posterior parietooccipital leads in patients with occipital epilepsy. We followed-up 72 patients with benign agedependent focal epilepsy aged 6 months to 10 years for a year to assess the electroencephalographic location of pathological activity areas in dynamics. Electroencephalography demonstrated a variety of locations of pathological activity both at disease onset and after one year of follow-up, as well as migration of this activity, regardless of age, gender, and therapy.
