Epilepsy with continuous spike-waves during slow wave sleep: a clinical and electroencephalographic study

Abstract: SUMMARY -We report four children with epilepsy with "continuous spike-waves during slow wave sleep" (CSWSS). The main clinical features were partial motor seizures, mental retardation and motor deficit. The EEG findings were characterized by nearly continuous (>85%) diffuse slow spike and wave activity in two patients, and localized to one hemisphere in two other cases during non-REM sleep. The treatment was effective in improving the clinical seizures, but not the EEG pattern. We believe that this epileptic s… Show more

“…Indeed, epileptiform discharges can still be present after the patient achieves seizure freedom. Similar results were reported by Silva et al [167], who demonstrated that in spite of improvement in seizure control, abnormal EEG activity in patients with CSWS syndrome was still preserved.…”
