Article Synopsis
- This study examines the relationship between EEG findings and seizure outcomes in children with typical absence seizures (TAS) who have idiopathic generalized epilepsy, analyzing data from 123 patients over a period of nearly six years.
- The results showed that while interictal EEG findings such as focal and generalized discharges are common, they do not significantly impact the likelihood of achieving seizure freedom or the effectiveness of antiseizure medications.
- The findings challenge previous assumptions that certain EEG patterns in children with TAS indicate a worse prognosis, suggesting that these associations may not hold true.
We report identical twins with supernumerary ring chromosome 19 mosaicism, who had severe refractory epilepsy at an early age. The epilepsy was dominated largely by severe life-threatening tonic seizures. Both twins died, likely as a consequence of their severe epilepsy.
