Abstract
We first report 3 patients who experienced absence epilepsy (mean age at onset: 63 years; range: 4-9) 1-4 hears after recovering from an electroclinical picture characteristic of benign childhood partial epilepsy (BCPE). All patients were put on monotherapy with sodium valproate, and their long-term course was excellent with remission of absences and normalization of EEG recordings. The exceptionality of our observation favors the hypothesis that BCPE and absence epilepsy are distinct entitiesFile in questo prodotto:
