Electroclinical features of benign infantile XXXX with mild @entity1902 .

@entity1 @entity410 @entity245 @entity1902 @entity4242
The purpose of this study was to analyze the electroclinical features of @entity1 with benign infantile @entity410 with mild @entity1902 and demonstrate the benign nature of this entity. From 30 @entity1 who were included in the study, five were excluded (two with @entity245 , one with @entity4242 and two lost during follow-up). Twenty-five @entity1 who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for benign infantile @entity410 with mild @entity1902 were assessed and followed at the Pediatric Department, Armed Forces Hospital, Southern Region, Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia, between January 2004 and January 2009. The median age at presentation was 10.4 months. Of the @entity1 , 14 were females and 11 were males. @entity410 were focal tonic or clonic in eight (32%) @entity1 , focal with secondary generalisation in three (12%), generalised tonic-clonic in nine (36%) and consisted of staring only with no motor components in five (20%). Interictal electroencephalograms and brain imaging were normal for all @entity1 . No @entity1 required treatment with antiepileptic drugs. All the @entity1 were found to have normal psychomotor development and neurological examination after a follow-up period of between 15 and 56 months. The limitations of this study are the relatively small sample size, relatively short study period and the fact that the study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital. The prevalence of this entity may be more common at the level of primary health centres. Increasing the awareness of clinicians regarding the existence of this syndrome and its benign nature in @entity1 will limit unnecessary investigations. [Published with video sequences].
