- Abstract
- (en) Epileptic encephalopathy (EE) with continuous spike and waves during sleep (CSWS) is a focal epilepsy syndrome of childhood characterised by the combination of regression in cognitive functioning and a characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) pattern that may complicate self-limited focal epilepsies (SFE) and focal epilepsies secondary to a structural brain lesion (Van Bogaert, 2013). Although several indices have been developed to calculate the intensity of epileptic activity, there is no consensus to determine what is the best index nor from which cut-off EE-CSWS can be differentiated from uncomplicated focal epilepsy.
