[Staring episodes in children with developmental disorders: epilepsy or behaviour?].

Behavioural episodes of staring in children are difficult to distinguish from epileptic seizures, especially in children with developmental disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities. We discuss two patients with staring episodes who were using anti-epileptic drugs. In both patients, EEG with video monitoring showed that the staring was non-epileptic.
