Article Synopsis
- Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a type of epilepsy in kids that usually doesn't cause long-term problems, as many kids outgrow it before becoming adults.
- Researchers studied 17 children with CAE and 15 healthy kids to compare their brain networks using special brain scans and measurements.
- They found that kids with CAE had less organized brain networks, which seemed to affect their thinking skills, showing that CAE can influence both brain structure and learning.
Absence epilepsy (AE) has been associated with lower than average cognitive functioning, which are clinically relevant in some and may predispose to problems later in life. This study aimed to assess cognitive development during long-term follow-up in children with AE. Thirty-one children with AE, who had undergone two neuropsychological assessments between 2010 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.
