“…Similar to our case, Sahin et al described NCSE in a 9-year-old boy with SSPE which improved with clonazepam [5]. Malherbe et al observed NCSE in a child during the static period of first two years of his disease [6]. Our case underscores the importance of recognizing SSPE even in the presence of rarer, atypical electroencephalogram findings particularly in countries where the disease is endemic.…”

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a neurodegenerative disease secondary to measles infection that usually has a typical presentation with progressive myoclonia, cognitive decline, and periodic slow-wave complexes on electroencephalography. We report two pediatric cases who presented with periodic myoclonic jerks and cognitive decline. In both cases, the electroencephalogram showed continuous nonconvulsive status epilepticus activity. Both had elevated measles antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid and blood. Pediatricians need to be aware of this atypical presentation of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

“…3 3 These seizures mainly occur on falling asleep and would be easily overlooked without polygraphic recordings including surface electromyography (EMG). The EEG shows diffuse, rapid (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), and low amplitude activity predominating in anterior and vertex leads, often followed by high amplitude slow waves. Vibratory tonic seizures are distinct from tonic seizure because they are much more violent and have a rapidly clonic component at the end of the seizures, producing the vibratory expression.…”

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome a combination of various generalized seizures including atypical absences and tonic seizures with generalized slow spike waves and mental deterioration, is often difficult to distinguish from a subgroup of myoclonic-astatic epilepsy, other generalized epilepsy syndromes, and various symptomatic generalized epilepsies. Conventional antiepileptic medication is poorly effective in this condition, particularly because various types of seizures respond differently to each given drug. Lamotrigine is effective in the various types of generalized seizures and efficacy has been demonstrated in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Given the potential of major mental deterioration within a matter of months in this condition, and the need of slow dose escalation in order to prevent skin rash, lamotrigine should be administered as soon as the diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is suspected. In addition, there is growing evidence that lamotrigine is also most useful in the subgroup of myoclonic-astatic epilepsy beginning in childhood, and that these patients should benefit from the drug like those affected by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, as soon as the diagnosis is suspected. However, this drug may worsen other cases of myoclonic-astatic epilepsy beginning in infancy. These clinical observations add to the evidence for the need of clear diagnostic work-up before appropriate drug therapy is decided in pediatric epilepsy.
