PY - 2023 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Pediatric Neurology AB - ESSENTIALS OF DIAGNOSISAbout a quarter of childhood-onset epilepsy is age related, has characteristic clinical and electroencephalographic features, and has favorable prognoses when properly treated such as childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, early-onset childhood occipital epilepsy (Panayiotopoulos type), and benign epilepsy of centrotemporal spikes.Some epilepsy syndromes in this age group present with worse manifestations and prognoses such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and wave during sleep.Early recognition of epilepsy syndromes and their distinction from symptomatic epilepsies can lead to appropriate investigation, treatment, and prognostication.
