Review of published reports confirmed this presentation to be atypical of this developmental lesion. The authors describe their patient and discuss this unexpected association and the relevant reports briefly.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In contrast, treated childhood absence epilepsy patients only exhibited cognitivedeficits in visual attention. There were no significant between-group differences for other cognitive tests.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a patient who at 11 months of age showed isolated myoclonicjerks occurring several times a day.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Similarly, subtypes have been posited including a form with only self‐remitting absence seizures, a subtype with absences and GTCS, a form with absences, GTCS and myoclonicjerks, and also eyelid myoclonia with typical absence epilepsy (EMA) ( Appleton[doi.org]
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To characterize pretreatment behavioralproblems and differential effects of initial therapy in children with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Item analysis within the subscales revealed that children with CAE demonstrate higher rates of hyperactive (overactivity and fidgetiness) and inattentive (forgetfulness and distractibility) problems, and require more supervision.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A young female presented with an epileptic syndrome resembling childhood absence epilepsy, a normal neurologic examination, generalized 3-Hzspike-and-wave discharges, and clinical absences. Her seizures responded to treatment with valproic acid.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diagnosis is made upon history of absence seizures during early childhood and the observation of 3Hzspike-and-wave discharges on an EEG.[en.wikipedia.org]
The phenotype was classical CAE with pyknoleptic absences affecting more girls (six out of eight), associated with typical 3Hzspike and wave, and remission before puberty.[doi.org]
PURPOSE: To better understand the nature of the focalspike-wave discharges (FSWDs) and focally led generalized spike-wave discharges (GSWDs) in typical childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and by implication their nosologic and taxonomic significance.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The long term prognosis of these patients seems to be good with an excellent response to anticonvulsant therapy. Copyright 2017 European Paediatric Neurology Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiologic data concerning early-onset CAE is scarce. We tried to specifically analyze the early-onset CAE and compare it with typical CAE.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, recent interesting observations in animal models suggest that BCECTS and CAE could be pathophysiologically related and that genetic links could play a large role.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We found that the mutation in GABRG2 (encoding the gamma2-subunit) abolished in vitro sensitivity to diazepam, raising the possibility that endozepines do in fact exist and have a physiological role in preventing seizures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
