- Abstract
- Benign partial epilepsy of childhood is the most common type of epilepsy in school-aged children and is typically well controlled with antiepileptic drug, thus having an excellent prognosis.
Recently, we have encountered one case of atypical benign partial epilepsy of childhood
with the following atypical clinical and EEG features : predominant atypical absence
seizure in addition to partial motor seizure, unusual awake EEG tracings of focal sharp
waves in the frontocentrotemporal location, while the sleep tracings showed nearly
continuous slow spike and wave activity. The administration of various antiepileptic
drugs adversely provoked a drowsy mental state without seizure control. The patient
dramatically improved after steroid therapy.
