ABPE

atypical benign partial epilepsy(English)

  • childhood type is a form of idiopathic focal epilepsy characterized by multiple seizure types, focal and/or generalized epileptiform discharges, continuous spike–wave during sleep, and sometimes reversible neurocognitive deficits. The molecular inheritance pattern has yet to be fully elucidated. Exome sequencing identified variants in SCN9A, CPA6, and SCNM1. A direct role of the epilepsy in the pathogenesis of the oromotor and neurocognitive deficits is apparent; aka pseudo-Lennox syndrome (PLS)
