Educational problems related to quantitative EEG changes in benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes

Reading comprehension difficulties in children with rolandic epilepsy

“…In terms of clinical variables, the lack of relation between our reading and comprehension measures and age at onset is consistent with other studies . Our findings of worse performance on reading measures relative to comparison children for the rolandic epilepsy group on medication is consistent with the findings of Ay et al However, in our sample, it is quite possible that medication status was confounded with a more complex epilepsy, so causal inferences cannot be drawn.…”

Changes in functional organization and functional connectivity during story listening in children with benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes

“…Difficulties in reading and other areas of academic achievement have also been reported (Ebus et al, 2011; Overvliet, Aldenkamp, Klinkenberg, Vles, et al, 2011; Piccinelli et al, 2008; Tedrus et al, 2009). Across domains, in the majority of studies cited above children with BECTS score in the normal range (i.e.…”

“…Typically, children with BECTS have normal general intellectual function (full-scale IQ) compared to their peers (Piccinelli et al, 2008; Pinton et al, 2006; Riva et al, 2007; Tedrus, Fonseca, Melo, & Ximenes, 2009). However, children with BECTS perform poorly when compared to controls on tests of expressive language (including naming and verbal fluency), receptive language, and verbal memory skills (Danielsson & Petermann, 2009; Garcia-Ramos et al, 2015; Goldberg-Stern et al, 2010; Overvliet, Besseling, van der Kruijs, et al, 2013; Piccinelli et al, 2008; Volkl-Kernstock et al, 2009).…”

Clinical and Electroencephalographic Characteristics of Idiopathic Childhood Focal Epilepsy With Centrotemporal Spikes

“…Когнитивные на-рушения у больных РЭ, с одной стороны, могут быть объяснены «врожденным нарушением процессов со-зревания мозга» по H. Doose и соавт. (2000) [17], а с другой -высоким индексом эпилептиформной активности -доброкачественных эпилептиформных паттернов детства (ДЭПД) -в интериктальном пери- [16,30]. Л. Р.…”
