“…About neonatal seizures beingnas familial, it is characterized as epileptic syndrome of autosomal transmission, determined by a mutation in the long arm of chromosome 20 (20q 13,2) 10 . They are characterized by unilateral tonic movements, associated with tachycardia and apnea, which begin between the second and third day of life and persist for a long period.…”

Introduction: Convulsive crises are common events in childhood, affecting up to 10% of children. If we consider only epilepsy, we will see an incidence of 3% in the general population, with half of these cases starting in childhood. Goal: There are some clinical syndromes of focal epilepsy classified according to the age at which they appear, such as in neonates, infants, children and young people. This article aims to describe the syndromes according to their age group of presentation. Method: The search was carried out in the PubMed, BVS and Scielo databases, and was limited to articles between the period 2019 to 2023 that met the criteria of being literature reviews and case reports. Result: The clinical syndromes of epilepsy are divided into focal and generalized. We focus on benign neonatal seizures, benign familial neonatal seizures, benign partial epilepsy of infancy, benign partial childhood epilepsy with sharp centrotemporal waves, partial childhood epilepsy with sharp occipital waves, and continuous partial epilepsy.

Genetic epilepsies and their cognitive-behavioral traits have been described in various reviews. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find studies about generalized epilepsy and febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) displaying detailed descriptions of its neuropsychological comorbidities. We intend to describe the clinical picture of children with GEFS+, and its comorbidities, emphasizing cognitive-behavioral conditions, and also to find associations that may contribute to the development of these disorders. We reviewed clinical records from 22 patients diagnosed with GEFS+, based on clinical and family history (no genetic tests were conducted). Most of follow-up visits were with one of us (M. Devilat), over the period 1996?2011. Mean follow-up time was 5.3 yr (1?11 yr). Our investigation focused on the associated diagnoses: conduct disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specific language impairment (SLI), specific learning disorders and intellectual disability (ID). Assessment for possible associations (i.e. age at onset, seizure-free period) was conducted. A total of 15 patients (68.18%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of these co-morbidities. The prevalence for each disorder was as follows: ADHD-six patients (27.27%); conduct disorder-five patients (22.73%); ID, SLI and specific learning disorders-four patients (18.18%) each. Among associated factors, long-lasting seizures and onset of seizures before 12 mo of life were statistically related to ID (P = 0.02 and P = 0.04, respectively). A normal electroencephalogram was predominant in patients with SLI (P = 0.01). We conclude that neuropsychological disorders are common among patients with GEFS+, ADHD being the most frequent diagnosis. Various factors including long-lasting epilepsy and early age of onset may be associated with cognitive disorders.
