Idiopathic localization-related epilepsies and syndromes Three conditions are included here, one of them being benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (see pp. 24–25), which is said to account for up to 15% of childhood epilepsies, and two much less common syndromes, childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (see p. 26) and primary reading epilepsy. Other genetic and idiopathic syndromes will no doubt be added as knowledge advances, such as the recently described syndrome of dominantly inherited, nocturnal, frontal lobe epilepsy.
Many can occur in a day, and the seizures tend to cluster. The loss of consciousness is usually complete, and the patient is unaware that a seizure has occurred. Eyes, if closed at onset, open after 2–3 s. The seizures can be induced by hyperventilation. The classic EEG pattern is monotonous, generalized 3 Hz spike– wave. In a series of 194 patients with typical clinical features and EEG, approximately a third also had generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCSs) at some point and absence status occurred in 15%.
About 20–30% of cases evolve from West syndrome and, when associated with frequent tonic seizures, these patients carry a particularly poor prognosis. The epilepsy is very severe, with seizures usually occurring many times a day. These take the form of atypical absence, tonic, myoclonic, tonic and tonic–clonic seizures, and later complex partial and other seizure types develop. The most characteristic are tonic attacks, which occur most often in non-REM (but not REM) sleep and in wakefulness. They result in falls and the patients are prone to repeated head, facial and orthopaedic injuries.
