Abstract excerpt

Benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECS, benign rolandic epilepsy) is a common form of genetically determined localisation-related epilepsy of childhood. The characteristic age-dependent focal sharp wave (fsw) found on the EEG in this disorder segregates as a dominant trait in families with probands with BCECS. Seizures occur in a significant proportion of individuals with the fragile X...
