Epileptic encephalopathies of the Landau‐Kleffner and continuous spike and waves during slow‐wave sleep types: Genomic dissection makes the link with autism

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The continuous spike and waves during slow-wave sleep syndrome (CSWSS) and the Landau-Kleffner (LKS) syndrome are two rare epileptic encephalopathies sharing common clinical features including seizures and regression. Both CSWSS and LKS can be associated with the electroencephalography pattern of electrical status epilepticus during slow-wave sleep and are part of a clinical continuum that at its benign...
