“…Although neuropsychological and behavioral changes in idiopathic benign childhood epilepsy have already elicited interest and subtle impairments, a wide variety of higher cortical functions (memory, visuomotor skills and visuospatial, spatial perception, memory spatial, coordination, different areas of language, content discrimination, and auditory-verbal dyspraxia) have been documented 11,12 . Even after the active phase of seizures 9 , little is known about neurological soft signs in such group of patients.…”

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the presence of neurological soft signs (NSS) and to correlate them with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III) in patients with rolandic epilepsy (RE). METHODS: Forty children and adolescents aged between 9 and 15 years were studied. They were divided into two groups: G1 - patients with RE (n=20) - and G2 - healthy controls without epilepsy (n=20). They were assessed with the Quick Neurological Screening Test (QNST II) - clinical trial to search for NSS -, and the WISC III - neuropsychological test. RESULTS: No statistical difference between groups was found in WISC III and QNST II. However, children with poorer motor skills had worse performance in the QNST II and also in the execution intelligence quotient - IQ (p=0.001) and in total IQ (p=0.004), thus showing a positive correlation between them. CONCLUSIONS: The QNST II is a good screening tool for the neurologist to detect abnormalities in fine motor skills.

“…Ces auteurs mettent d'ailleurs en évidence une typologie particulière de troubles en fonction de l'âge des enfants: les atteintes qui concernent davantage le langage oral seraient présentes chez les enfants entre 7 et 10 ans alors que les atteintes du langage écrit sont davantage retrouvées chez les adolescents de 11 et 16 ans.

“…Although the seizure semiology of RE is relatively mild (Lerman and Kivity, 1975;Loiseau et al, 1992), recent evidence suggests serious comorbidities in selected cases and has put the assumed purely benign nature of RE under debate (Nicolai et al, 2006;Vinayan et al, 2005;Völkl-Kernstock et al, 2009;Weglage et al, 1997). An often reported comorbidity of RE is language impairment (Monjauze et al, 2005;Northcott et al, 2007;Overvliet et al, 2010;Papavasiliou et al, 2005).…”

Introduction: Rolandic epilepsy, a childhood epilepsy associated with language impairments, was investigated for language-related cortical abnormalities. Methods: Twenty-four children with rolandic epilepsy and 24 controls (age 8-14 years) were recruited and underwent the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals test. Structural MRI was performed at 3 T (voxel size 1 × 1 × 1 mm 3 ) for fully automated quantitative assessment of cortical thickness. Regression analysis was used to test for differences between patients and controls and to assess the effect of age and language indices on cortical thickness. Results: For patients the core language score (mean ± SD: 92 ± 18) was lower than for controls (106 ± 11, p = 0.0026) and below the norm of 100 ± 15 (p = 0.047). Patients showed specific impairments in receptive language index (87 ± 19, p = 0.002) and language content index (87 ± 18, p = 0.0016). Cortical thickness was reduced in patients (p b 0.05, multiple-comparisons corrected) in left perisylvian regions. Furthermore, extensive cortical thinning with age was found in predominantly left-lateralized frontal, centro-parietal and temporal regions. No associations were found between cortical thickness and language indices in the regions of aberrant cortex. Conclusion: The cortical abnormalities described represent subtle but significant pathomorphology in this critical phase of brain development (8-14 years) and suggest that rolandic epilepsy should not be considered merely a...
